For the past year I have had very dry skin and flaky skin on my scrotum. It is very itchy and raw at time when itched.


Posted by bochman723

Over the last several months I have developed a rash on my upper buttocks that is persistent and does not go away.  It is itchy, flaky, and when itched becomes raw.  When it seems like it is getting better it comes back like pimples then flakes then itches.  I am becoming nervous it is an std such as HIV.  I am nervous to go to a doctor.  Any thought on what is causeing this?

The following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of scrotum itching. There are likely to be other possible causes for testicular itch, so ask your doctor about your symptoms.
* Fungal infection
* Tinea cruris
* Scabies
* Pubic lice
* Yeast infection
* Herpes
* Eczema
* Psoriasis
* Allergy to clothes
* Allergy to soap/shampoo

You can try some over the counter anti-itching creams or 1% hydrocortisone cream or vaseline to see if that helps. Make sure you don't itch the affected area as it may lead to infection.
