Ongoing problem with penis and testicles
Posted , 8 users are following.
I'm 23, and for 8 years I've had a pretty intense itch on my scrotum. I have been to numerous doctors and specialists, all of which claim the skin looks normal to them. I was first given a streroid cream, because in the beginning I had a red rash in the creases of my thighs, and they were raw. They said probably jock itch. Well, the redness and irritation between my thighs went away, but ever since then i have this strange itching on my scrotum. sometimes it also feels like a mild burning, and (especially if touched or if i have clothes or a bed sheet against it) will give these sharp, pins and needles feeling similar to how nerve pain has been described to me.
So I have seen dermatologists and they’ve given me a few different types of creams, maybe I didn’t stay on some of them long enough to see a result but i was very angry and scared about it at that point in my life, so i would try the topicals a few days, and it always seemed to just itch and burn the same if not worse, but with a greasy feeling on top of it. I've had A&A tests, probably every bloodwork you can think of, but nothing ever comes up. I'll have to call and have the actual results mailed to he again as i misplaced them, but I have also been allergy tested a couple times. once for foods and once for contact allergens. I never eat the one food it says i'm allergic to (shrimp). and as far as the other test i remember being mild-moderately allergic to just about every dye, fragrance, etc. And I use a special detergent. Next step is i guess not wearing any underwear or clothes with dyes.
So fast forward to recent times, and i notice i'm having some sort of reaction on the glans of my penis, it gets all shiny and wrinkled almost dry looking, and sometimes itches. the urethra is red and irritated and burns slightly when i pee sometimes. it seems to be more prominent when i'm erect, and looks like somebody sandpapered my penis haha. Anyway i'm wondering if any of you guys have experience with this or know anything about it, i'm really struggling here and appreciate any advice.

hey if anybody has been following this still I have a slight update. I saw a second urologist yesterday, and again they say there’s zero bacteria in the urine. he doesn’t think it’s anything bacterial or fungal because I’ve been treated for all of that stuff. He says he thinks it's some sort of allergic reaction. I don't know why all of a sudden at the beginning of August I would start having an allergic reaction only in that one specific spot though. for the life of me I can’t recall anything about my daily care or lifestyle that changed that could’ve accounted for this. I sympathize with anybody else going through this and any of you can feel free to message me on here to discuss these kinds of issues and maybe learn something from one another. It's been rough. i’ve went on a couple dates now with this girl and I really like her.. she has been super understanding about these issues but it still sucks that we can’t really get intimate together without me being in pain or at least great discomfort.

@morgan08 @josh28807 long shot figuring how old the thread is but worth a shot!!
did u guys ever figure out the issue?!
iv had this for about 2 years now started off as almost like balantitis on the ring of the head.
now it's exactly like u guys are describing.
almost normal without masturbation or sex.
but masturbation irritates it and sex absolutely f*****g burns like hell. it's a hot burn and a red raw shiny patch?! and I also got an inflamed urethra and it burns to urinate. also balls ate starting to itch after contact with partners juices. any suggestions will be appreciated as sex and masturbation has become unpleasant?!
