Heading is self explanatory. Some days it drives me crazy how itchy it gets and it's not an STD that I know of and been tested already for. I don't know what is causing it. Not jock itch, no redness, just an itch.

I had one dermatologist tell me that maybe I just had itchy balls. I'm like, come on man, I know we adjust and yeah, even scratch a bit now and then, but sometimes it's really bad and I've had doctors, allergists, dermatologists, etc., all look and tell me basically nothing. I know the difference between an occasional itch and and itch that won't go away for days. They all look at me like I'm some kind of f'g screwball.Most likely associated with allergies. Sources are usually dyes, soap, new kinds of fabric, reactions to food, a new pet, or any new activity or environment like a GYM or home based exercise device.
In the last six months I had a friend with a similar condition. His physician prescribed a number of ointments and creams (without success), and then had him take up to 6 Claritin a day until problem began to go away. By doing so, connected the problem with some kind of allergy.
Some individuals develop conditions that lead to thickening of the blood. When it reaches a certain level of viscosity it can’t flow through the smaller passages and will result in itching. In time the condition will become noticeable on other areas of the body. This definitely needs professional attention.
I very rarely trim, especially my ball sack where there isn't much hair to begin withWhat is your scrotum hair doing? Is it too long? Or do you cut it and its coming in is a little sharp and causing itching like that? I used to have way more itching when I shaved and trimmed. I started to let it all grow back over Covid year last year and I haven't trimmed it at all in a long time and I don't have much itch or irritation or anything much at all anymore.

Thanks for following this and replying as well. Appreciated.Old running joke about dermatology and its standard fix. If problem is dry, then oil it,,, If wet then dry it. Problem solved.
Did any of the doctors suggest that you take a standard panel of allergy tests? This usually amounts to around 70 little pricks on your arm or back. Most Drs are quick to do this since most insurance will cover the cost.
If you can determine the issue is an allergy of some type, then you can start with a process of elimination in hopes of finding the source. Or your doctor can use what your allergy test show to be your sensitive area and make up a desensitizing agent.
Never know where something like this might come from. Furniture at my workplace was replaced with new desk and chairs. Within weeks several people had been made ill with what turned out to be mold in the chair fabric. Something called Stachybotrys atra or Black mold. Apparently it is everywhere but in high concentrations impacts people with allergies, asthma, and other hypersensitivities.

Other end of spectrum is a problem called polycythemia vera. Itching, especially after a warm bath is one of its many indicators.

Run the whole gamut. The ones high in alcohol burn like a m'fckerThere are fungal infections other than Jock Itch. A mold is a type of fungus. Something which is just affecting a particular type of skin and not spreading does sound like a fungus. Have you tried the full range of Jock Itch treatments in case one works? Cream? Rubbing alcohol?
Keep me posted. I'd be interested in what he says here or privately if you don't mind sharingEver since I had my vasectomy three years ago, the left side of my scrotum is constantly itchy. I've tried anti-fungal creams, but like you said, there is no redness or rash, and the creams did little alleviate the itching. I'm going to the doctor on Friday and intend to ask about it.
Will do!Keep me posted. I'd be interested in what he says here or privately if you don't mind sharing

Thanks Squirrel!I’ll lay odds it’s fungal (aka jock itch). Get an athletes foot cream or soap. It’s good for jock itch as well.
