I have a very itchy bumpy scrotum. what is this and where or who do I see for treatment


Posted by jwallacew

I have tried anti-fungal solutions which only gave me some relief from the itching.

My primary MD. GAVE ME AN ORAL ANTI FUNGAL MEDICATION THAT DID NOTHING.

I also have a skin rash that seem to become active during hot humid summer months. this rash was not affected by the anti-fungal medication.

The scrotum itch at times is intense.

Could be heat rash from excessive sweating, poor hygiene, infection or other skin condition.

Symptoms are also of:
1. Candidiasis
 Fungal STD yeast infection of moist areas like genitals...
2. Contact dermatitis
 Skin reaction night clothing and to an irritation...
3. Herpes
 Virus with one subtype causing cold sores and another causing genital herpes...
4. Psoriasis
 Chronic skin rash condition, usually red and blistery....
5. Scabies
 Mite infection of the skin common in institutions...
6. Jock Itch

Try one of these Anti-itch creams and lotion. Look for over-the-counter (OTC) remedies with these ingredients:
    * camphor,
    * menthol,
    * phenol,
    * pramoxine,
    * diphenhydramine, and
    * benzocaine (or one of the other "caine" anesthetics).

You should go back to your doctor for STD lab testing, and/or he can give you a differant prescription.
