What Causes Itching And Redness In Penis And Scrotum?
My penis and scrotum are red and itchy. The shaft is kind of swollen. The scrotum is tightened and kind of looks like corduroy. The red is all over, not just in spots. There are no bumps or warts. This happened to me when I was younger but I never got it checked and it went away on its own.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be due to fungal infection. As of now you can apply topical antifungal ointments like Clotrimazole over the affected area. Keep the area dry. You can apply the cream after washing and wiping with a clean towel. Also take oral anti fungal tablets like Fluconazole once a week for four weeks. If symptoms are severe consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
