Is Severe Itching On The Scrotum A Sign Of Ingrown Hair?

Can I have a pilondial cyst sort of thing in my testicles (scrotum essentially)? I mean hair follicles stuck inside or something. I occasionally get this crazy itch in the testicles (not the penis) and upon scratching it feels like (probably better than) orgasm. And I keep scratching for a few seconds till the skin gets wounded-like. It gets slightly saggy and flaky. Doesn t bleed but very rarely sticky fluid appears. But when I look at it (after having scratched) it clearly appears as if the very upper thin skin layer has been removed and is fleshy in appearance. Based on the internet search I have figured that it s not a regular jock-itch or yeast infection or etc. So I thought may be since the testicles are supposed to contract and expand for temperature regulation, at some time the hair got confused and started growing inwards. Any ideas?

Hello,

In grown hair can cause severe itching.
We have to rule out other conditions like fungal infection which can also cause itching.
As a first line of management you can apply topical anti-fungal creams like Clotrimazole for symptomatic relief.
If itching persists, you can consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
