Patient's question:
My husband is 30 years old and often rides a motorcycle. There are many small bumps in his testicular area, and he says they are very itchy. No matter what he applies, it doesn't help. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Your husband's itchy scrotum is likely testitis. Testitis doesn't only cause itching; sometimes it also causes pain. Most of the pain occurs after sexual activity, possibly due to high congestion of the genital and gonadal areas. Don't worry too much. Since he frequently rides a motorcycle, the constant friction on the scrotal area can easily lead to capillary damage and infection. At this time, avoid scratching or irritating the area, and apply Pramesone cream and calamine lotion externally for treatment. If necessary, take Loratadine tablets to relieve the itching.
