Itchy Scrotum
Hi..I'm 21 years old. I have itchy scrotum for now 2 days. I didn't have sex for a long time. There are many red spots and rashes on my scrotum all over the place like you'll see in skin allergy on other part of your body. Itching is unstoppable. Please, tell me which medicine I should take or what doctor I should consult?
Thank You.
Thank You.

You haven't provided very detailed info, but I would suggest you get it checked out for scabies. It could also be a heat rash--have you been working outdoors or sweating a lot lately? Essentially, there are a number of possible causes. Take some benadryl and see a dermatologist.

This can be due to contact dermatitis, fungal infection or sweat dermatitis. Keep the area dry and after washing also dry thoroughly by pat drying, not rubbing. Also wear cotton underwear and change them twice a day and do not share other people’s towels.
