What Causes Itching In Penis/testicles While On Celebrex?

I am a 45 year old male. I have an itchy penis and testicles mainly at night. I am on Celebrex and wondering if this is causing the problem? The testicles will often have scaly skin that flakes off but I m not sure if that s from the scratching or not. I ve tried numerous I Jock itch creams. I do have exczma on my finger and wondered if it could also be exczma on my penis.

Hello Dear,

Welcome on Health care magic!

I have read your query and understood your issue.

Your problem is less likely due to celebrex.

Eczema on your finger also creats doubts for eczema on penis as you told and it must be examined for confirmed diagnosis.

My advice:
1) Fungal infections are common in genitals. keep area clean and dry as much as possible. Buy Clotrimazole Powder and sprinkle it over the affected area. Use it for 3-4 days and let me know the improvement.

2) If problem persists, get examined by your skin specialist for eczema and do further investigations.

Do ask me again if any more need required.
