Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
There are many simple conditions which can cause itching in scrotum.
Some conditions can be:
1. Ring worm infection or any other infection in early stages
2. Scaly skin
3. Allergy to use of latex condoms.
4. Using harmful chemicals in soaps
5. Tight inner wear causing sweat accumulation
6. Poor genital hygiene
Neurological problems causing itching in scrotum are something least likely.
