What Causes Constant Itching Around Pubic Area Along With Burning Eyes?

default
Posted on Mon, 3 Nov 2014
Question: Hi I'm a 34 year old male and about 8 weeks ago I noticed a slight tingling/crawling sensation in/on my scrotum. This was followed a few days later by an intense rash that was most pronounced on my scrotum but was all over the body wherever my body was warm/covered in clothes. There was no pronounced shape or pattern to the rash and I'd describe it as blotchy. 2 days at home lathering myself in various creams and relaxing under air-con taking antihistamines (I still am taking antihistamines daily) calmed the rash down but I am now getting itchy eyes and I still occasionally get a rash on my arms and body if exercising. The tingling scrotum remains a constant annoyance and it seems to be alleviated somewhat by wearing boxers instead of tighter fitting underwear. About 3 weeks ago I began to notice an itchy anus which I assumed was worms (never having had worms since being a young child) but 2 treatments over the past 3 weeks has had no effect (using combantrin with mebendazole for threadworms). Then about a week ago I began having an ever slight sensation in my penis. That has progressed to there now being an almost permanent discomfort there and a regular feeling of the need to urinate. There is no pain urinating, no cloudiness or other colour in the urine and there are no discharges, rashes or sores on my penis. I've been recently tested for some STI's and all have come back negative. I'm contemplating getting retested for everything as I have never had any of these signs or symptoms before and have no idea what is causing them.

Brief Answer:
sweat dermatitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.I can understand your concern about your problem.

Constant itching in private parts can be due to sweat allergy or fungal infection.Since you have also burning eyes and rash after exercise ,I am in opinion of sweat allergy.

It is always important to keep these area dry.A good dusting powder like mycoderm will produce relief.Use it two to three times daily.Use loose undergarments.

Applying a combination cream like candid b will also help.Continue with antihistamincs and a short course of oral steroid will also be helpful if there is severe itching.

Consumption of vitamin c either in tablets or from food supplements will also help.

Try these measures for 1 to 2 weeks and let me know your improvement.

I hope this will help you.In case there is any concern I will be happy to help you.Take care.
