My boyfriend suffers of itchy scrotum but he says it's itchy inside of his scrotum not on the outside. Is this possible? and what is it?
Thank you kindly for that suggestion Tyler
Been there done that, suffered with that for years until a doctor told me it was a rare form of fungus. Get some anit fungal cream and smear it on twice a day. Within a week I bet you will feel great. I use it daily now and probably will for the rest of my life. Been there done that for years, now it's gone.
Just chafing or irritation, no doubt.

Thanks for that Dr.Rockoff.
What would your opinion be about my jock itch ? I've noticed the itching only happens when I am lying down and affects my testicles and the underside of my penis.I've inspected the area with a mirror and there is no redness or discolouration at all.
Balanitis is just another way of saying eczema of the penis. Eczema of the penis is just sensitivity and is not serious. Yes, a steroid cream would be worth trying. This may help the discomfort, though it may not eliminate it. You should see a dermatologist about diagnosing and managing this. There may be some residual irritation, both physical and psychological, from the various problems you've had down there, including the unfounded concern about herpes.
Best.
