Itchy Scrotum

[soul499]

Hey, I have a itchy scrotum. In my genital area, i have these red looking pimples and they also seem to be somewhere really close to ma anus. I have also noticed some white dots on the underskin of my penis. I think i might have these dots on my testicles too .This is happening to me from the last 10 days. I wake up in the middle of the night and start scratching my scrotum( testicles). I apply creams such as Candid,Fucidin and Calendula to my pimples( in the genital area, even the testicles). I wash my genital area with SebaMed (Bath Gel) and apply vaseline. I feel better after applying Vaseline. Before sleeping i apply the creams i mentioned before. I have pubic hair and have hair on my testicles too. I'm really concerned and can you please suggest me what to do? Does it seem a serious problem? Thank You

Regarding the Butt crack itch which I get at times and gets somewhat red and bloody upon more intense itching, which seems to appear when after drinking strong 'pod-machine dark roast' Caffeinated coffee , at early 50's in age , i was never a Starbucks addictee thank goodness, but was this was never a factor throughout my life either until the last 4-5 yrs. So from another Post, I  apply to the area with Q-tip soaked in a tincture of 50:50 diluted bleach and water. Other times a Q-tip soaked in Black Walnut oil , which fights Fungal infections bigtime, which stings like heck for 2-3 secs. when the crack is pink/red. Lastly a 50:50 mix of plain Milk of Magnesia and Benadryl anti-itch cream applied with Q-tip too,  also seems to eradicate the Redness and Itchyness effect.  Avoid Coffee or Black Tea and get used to Def-caff Teas , anti-fungal types like Licorice Root, Peppermint, ginger root, etc.  Finally, getting used to weekly Stomach flora pro-biotic with Coconut Kifir yogurt Goes along way from keeping itchy bouts at a Minimum and not have it ruin your life.  Initially i thought it was MRSA ..but i am certain its a Fungal infection, that could lead to Anal Cancel if you dont Take care of it..Laslty, a Indian spice "Black cumin' crushed into powder and added to tea or coffee also reduces itching occurences too...it too is Anti-Fungal.

Hi,

This could be folliculitis, dermatitis, acne or allergic reaction. In most individuals there are outbreaks of folliculitis from time to time.

Folliculitis is infection and inflammation of the hair follicles. The condition may be superficial (i.e., on the surface of the skin) or deep within the follicles.The most common cause of folliculitis is infection by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus.

Folliculitis symptoms can appear independent of infection. Exposure of the skin to certain chemicals, especially oils and tars, can trigger an outbreak. People with depressed immune systems, diabetes, or obesity have a greater risk of contracting folliculitis than the general population.

Patients with chronic unresponsive folliculitis may require investigation into the source of the infection. S. aureus bacteria can live in the patient's nostrils, periodically triggering a folliculitis outbreak.

Individuals who are predisposed to folliculitis should be extremely careful about personal hygiene. Application of antiseptic washes may help prevent recurrences. A topical antibiotic cream, mupirocin (Bactroban®), has been effective at reducing bacterial colonization in the nostrils. It is applied twice daily for a week and is repeated every 6 months.

If there any of the mentioned medical causes then treating those will reduce the occurence of the condition.

Some stubborn cases of folliculitis have been responsive to laser-assisted hair removal. This process uses a laser to destroy the follicle. This reduces the scarring that results from folliculitis.

Let us know if you need any other information and consult a skin specialist if the lesion is persistent.
