Hello,
The most common causes of itchy testicles are irritation and fungal infections from poor hygiene or excess sweating. Regularly bathing and applying lotion and powder can prevent most cases.
The itchiness can also be caused by STDs like genital herpes, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Therefore I suggest consulting a skin specialist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
