Patient's question:
Hello, what is the cause of the itching at the base of the testicles? I've been feeling itchy down there recently, and I thought it was due to poor hygiene, so I've been washing it every day, but it's still itchy with no signs of improvement. I'm very worried about whether something might be wrong with my body.Doctor's answer:
Generally, if there is localized itching, it may be caused by a fungal infection. Check for symptoms such as localized whitening or scaling. It is recommended to use baking soda for washing. If the inflammation cannot be controlled, it is still necessary to seek medical attention and have a dermatological examination. If medication has already been started, pay close attention to the sunning of underwear in the coming days. Also, check if there has been any unprotected sexual activity.
