Hi, I am a 20 year old male and have been having an itching problem in the private areas. Just to let you know I´ve never had skin problems before and for the most part no matter the weather/season my skin keeps reasonably in good shape (no dryness or itchiness).
About two years ago I started to notice itching in the groin and around that area. I bought a couple of types of itching cream (I don´t have them anymore) and chained from briefs to boxers (both being cotton) to see if any change like that would do anything for me. Well, I´m still itching now. When I get hot or begin to sweat my body begins to itch and I become very anxious and usually taking a shower helps a lot. But, like I said I am still itching (even as I type this) and am very uncomfortable with this.
I have no rash or anything, it just itches. I am on medication for anxiety but doubt that is the problem although now that I live in a different country I am soon going to a psychiatrist to see what I should do about it now that I am better.
I have read other people´s questions and they seem to be a bit more complicated than my case because sometimes I am perfectly fine (no itching) but have noticed that if I start to become anxious for any reason I begin to itch. Could this be a psychological problem I´m having? What can I do to relieve the itching? I have started to use some skin lotion but see not difference what so ever. I would really appreciate some help.
Sincerely,
Itchy
