Patient's question:
I have some itching on the skin of my testicles. After scratching, it has started to itch again. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Testicular itching could be eczema or tinea cruris. Eczema often appears in clusters, and the rash can take various forms, including redness, papules, blisters, erosion, exudation, and crusting. If scratched carelessly, it can lead to infection. The symptoms of tinea cruris start with a small number of papular vesicles, which gradually increase and spread in a ring shape. The edges of the lesions are raised, and the patient experiences intense itching. The condition worsens due to scratching, and the ring-shaped lesions gradually shrink, the local skin darkens in color, the skin thickens, and scales and crusts form.
