Balls/Scrotum is red and intensely itchy

[WeebOOF]

So for about a few months ive had a little itch every now and then that i can cope with


Recently my balls and scrotum are a bright pinkish reddish colour and i have intense itching usually all throughout the day, i have read that it can be underwear but i wear 100% cotton fruit of the loom boxer briefs. It also says it could be hygiene, but i wash 3 times a week (Tuesday, Friday, Sunday). It finally says it could be bacteria from athletes foot or other fungus through sexual contact. I am a virgin and i do not have athletes foot, plus i always wear socks before putting underwear on as i am consious about foot germs going on my boxers. I never go barefoot anywear unless i am in the shower.

Thanks in advance VT!

It sounds like you've done quite a bit of preliminary research, which is good. However, it outlines what most of us will tell you here, so I am going to strongly suggest you go and see a doctor. It's not pleasant, but it's a necessity.

I would say that it is a bad case of jock itch. Buy some powder like Gold Bond or an other brand that is for jock itch and try that. If that doesn't help or work I suggest you see your doctor.

Washing three times a week is not enough fir a 16 year old. You need to be showering daily with soap on your hair face, pits and balls etc.

As Jamie said it could b jock itch. There
is a powder spray called Cruex but it is
a bit expensive. There r generic sprays
that r just a good and r less expensive.
They r antifungals. U must first wash
ur area daily and each time use the
spray. It does help after u use it a
few times.

Agreed^
How can you shower only 3 times a week???

Showering 3 times a week is absolutely not enough for a 16 year old guy. If I went from Tuesday to Friday without showering my nose would stop functioning from how bad the smell would be. You need to be showering every day with soap on all the important parts (armpits, crotch, ass, feet, etc.) That’ll certainly help, and I’d see a doctor if it persists

Yeah showering 3 times a week as a sweaty teen isn't good. You should shower atleast everyday if not like 6 times a week. Make sure to change your underwear too. If it doesn't go away you should see a doctor

You might have something called jock itch. It's a fungal infection. A lot like athlete's foot only in your groin area. If that is the case, the infected area will get larger.

If it's jock itch then you can get some creams from a doctor.
Also, I've heard that if you shave your balls that can make it itch, so if you did shave that could be the cause

It could be jock itch, if you just recently wore those cotton underwear it may be a reaction by the underwear or even the brand. It can be rash that is occured by other factors but we can only offer so much advice so I suggest you talk to a doctor.

I had the exact same thing a couple of weeks ago and my mom got me clotrimazole cream, an antifungal drug. It cleared it up almost instantly.
