That sounds like hormones messing with your skin if you ask me. You havent specified if youre male or female....but sometimes, because of stress, extra hormones are triggered off in the body causing these itchy pimples. I had these aswell plus the flaky skin. You should go to the doctor and get some medication to clear it up.\nRemember not to overload your face with products, this will make the problem worse.\nHope it clears up soon!

the testicles go up and down independently, it's a self regulating organ for producing sperm. You other issue is not related to the first question. Often if u took a shower or bath and do not dry properly and /or sweat accessively, the moisture allow fungus to grow. and causes itchiness and soreness from your scratching due to tear. It's call jock itch.....go to nearest drug store they are cream, spray or powder available. if not sure ask a pharmacist for reccommedation. Make sure you dry your groin area well before apply and try to keep it dry at all time...

Sorry can't tell you what it's from, could just be dry skin. Try a shampoo with Tea Tree Oil. It really helps get rid of the itch.

I am not a doctor but you need to let your doctor know you are still having this problem.  She can put you on something else and while you are there, ask her the exact term used for what you have.  Sometimes just knowing what it is called can help make you feel a little better.  It sounds like she is treating you properly.  You might want to think about changing your sheets daily until the itching is controlled.\n\nBest of health to you.

it could be an allergic reaction but it could also be some sort of infection...ask a doctor

I didn't know there were so many conditions which can cause what you described.  I have learned a lot myself.  I know this is a lot of reading, but it might be worth it to help find out the cause of your red rash and itching.\n\nRed, bumpy, scaly, itchy, swollen skin-any of these symptoms can signify an allergic skin condition. These skin problems are often caused by an immune system reaction, signifying an allergy. Allergic skin conditions can take several forms and are due to various causes. \n\nHives and angioedema \nHives are red, itchy, swollen areas of the skin that can range in size and appear anywhere on the body.  Most common are acute cases of hives, where the cause is identifiable-often a viral infection, drug, food or latex. These hives usually go away spontaneously. Some people have chronic hives that occur almost daily for months to years. For these individuals, various circumstances or events, such as scratching, pressure or "nerves," may aggravate their hives. However, eliminating these triggers often has little effect on this condition. \n\nAngioedema, a swelling of the deeper layers of the skin, sometimes occurs with hives. Angioedema is not red or itchy, and most often occurs in soft tissue such as the eyelids, mouth or genitals. Hives and angioedema may appear together or separately on the body. Hives are the result of a chemical called histamine -responsible for many of the symptoms of allergic reactions-in the upper layers of the skin. Angioedema results from the actions of these chemicals in the deeper layers of the skin. These chemicals are usually stored in our bodies' mast cells, which are cells heavily involved in allergic reactions. There are several identifiable triggers that release histamine and other chemicals from the mast cells, causing hives. \n\nIn adults, reactions to medicines are a common cause of acute hives. Medications known to cause hives or angioedema include aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, high blood pressure medicines known as ACE-inhibitors, or pain-killers containing codeine or codeine-like drugs. Like all drug-induced hives, these reactions occur within only minutes to an hour of taking the drug. Adults can also develop hives after eating certain foods, including nuts, eggs, shellfish, soy, wheat or milk-the culprits in more than 90% of proven food-induced hives. In children, foods or viral infections such as a cold can trigger acute hives. Physical urticaria are hives resulting from an outside source: rubbing of the skin, cold, heat, physical exertion or exercise, pressure or direct exposure to sunlight. Patients with chronic urticaria often report that at least one of these triggers induces their hives. \n\nWhenever there is an identifiable trigger of hives, it should be eliminated. In patients with acute hives, some drugs or foods may take days to be eliminated from the body. For these individuals, an allergist may prescribe antihistamines to relieve symptoms until the culprit is eliminated. For patients with chronic hives, treatment cannot control the eruptions; these hives will eventually disappear on their own, with or without treatment. For 50% of these patients, the hives will clear in three to 12 months; 40% will clear in one to five years. Up to 1.5% of these patients may experience these hives for more than 20 years. \n\nForty percent of patients with chronic hives will have at least one more episode of chronic hives in their lifetime. For these patients, the treatment objective is to provide comfort. If you experience chronic hives, your allergist will prescribe antihistamines, and will combine medications and adjust your dosages as needed for your individual symptoms. In rare cases, if antihistamines do not provide appropriate comfort, the allergist will prescribe an oral corticosteroid. \n\nContact dermatitis \nWhen some substances come into contact with skin, they may cause a rash called contact

Sounds like a condition called contact dermatitis to me.  Our doctors in the clinic I work in see this all the time in men.  Nothing to worry about.  At least, that's what they always diagnose it as.

It doesn't sound like you have scabies.  Scabies is a "bug" that burrows under the skin and itches like a son of a gun.  It is not something that just goes away and the comes back.  You may be having some sort of allergy to something your eating, or medication your may be taking.  Also, you need to describe what the infection looks like, i.e. rash, vesicles, bumps, etc.  My advise is to see your doctor.  If you doctor is unsure of what it is, they can refer you to a dermatologist.  Good luck, and don't wait any longer to see your doctor..two months is long enough to go with this issue.

Sounds like a 'blackhead' but under the skin, gets a little infected and swells up.\n\nNo matter how clean you are, that is a place that gets sweaty.\n\nPop them and clean them.\n\nIf it falls off, see a doc.

you may have a yeast infection, in which case you will have to go to the doctor and get infection medicine to clear this up. sometimes the creams dont work especially in this case... while it is normal to itch a little down there it isnt if it itches a lot. Make sure when you take a bath you clean there very well and go to the doctor because you could have a vaginal infection of some sort, you can get yeast infections from many things including if you have recently been taking some types of medications... The best thing you can do is keep yourself as clean as possible and go to the doctor and get checked out...\ngoodluck

Don't try to self diagnose because it could be a number of things. Go see your regular doctor or dermatologist. Good luck and take care.

I've had eczema for many years. I get it on my hands and feet mostly. Tiny little blisters from scratching. . The itch can be totally unbearable. Scratching also pops the blisters and the more you scratch the worse it seems to get. There are creams that you can get from your DR. That will help. \nChicken pox usually starts with a fever and not feeling well. and is all over your body. The rash usually last about 10days. And itches just as bad. Take her to the DR. if your really not sure.

hmmm... skin shed is normal anywhere on the body...  If it is really itchy, it may be jock itch, but I'd doubt that, since it's usually further behond the scrotum...  Did you change to another type of soap within the past 2 weeks?  That could have something to do with it.\nIn any case, try some moisturizing lotion like, oh say Lubriderm, and see how that goes...\nUsually, if you had used something different would have something to do with it, even if it's not happening to the rest of your body... As I've learned in my skin care (dermatology) course, different areas of the body has a different skin sensitivity... and the groin area, in more way than we all know is very sensitive, and "picky" at times...\n\nCheers!

what kind of doctor have you seen? have you seen a neurologist? it sounds like it could be a neuralgia if it's not a skin condition. there are a bunch of different types of neuralgias, is it just the top/back/sides/all over your scalp? how about your forehead or other areas of your face?

it sounds like a form of eczema.  go get some hydrocortizone cream from the pharmacy (they sell it over the counter).  it should help it clear up.  if it doesnt go away from that, you may need a stronger dose, which you can only get to a doctor.  also, since there are little heads in it, i would suggest something with a little sulfur in it.  that will help your body learn to fight it. \nbut, it may just be an allergic reaction to the soap you are using.  stop using the soap you have, and if that doesnt work, try the above suggestions.  if you have any more questions, feel free to IM or message me.  good luck
