Well, if you happen to be dunking the boys in cole slaw... stop it and see if the itching stops too.

Well young man: First of all wash real good, this time use soap and water, hot water. Before you turn off the shower let the water cool down to almost cold and let it pour over you and rinse you off, now until it's cold. You want to cool of your skin, O.K.
. If the area of itching is red, not from the scratching but from the itch and has tiny little red bumps, you may have eczema.
If you start getting this in your extremities, under the arms, etc, you may have eczema. You better go see your doctor, he can refer you to a dermatologist for better treatment.
Keep yourself clean, take showers regularly, change your undergarments everyday.

Never use hydrocortisone on the scrotal area for this itching! You may have skin burns! That area is a mucous membrane and you don't apply steroid creams there.
This is what I suggest. Take a cold bath and apply some menthol powder over the scrotal area. And relax. The menthol powder helps to cool the area and will reduce the itching. If you still don't feel better, go see your physician.

you may have a fungal infection from being damp with sweat this causes red itchy skin and can scab even scar if youve itched too much , go to the docs as he will give you a steroid cream to apply and within 3 days it will be gone . if you dont you risk infection and a long time to clear it up , go today .

Could be body lice (which is not crabs). Might want to get checked out. It may be contagious!

Could be a fungal infection.."jock itch". If not get some hydrocortizone cream.

first thing you can do is take a bath. secondly, try tinactin. i know its for the feet, but it is an anti fungal cream and works very well.

use CORTAID. it has hydrocortizone as its main agent. it's effective. trust me. if you can't find CORTAID, just buy some hydrocortizone, but don't put too much... that stuff is strong.
