Why does my Scrotum skin Itch?

Hi,

Sometimes my scrotum gets a little itchy and as you know this is pretty discomforting. There usually no rushes or anything to physically see. What could be the possible causes of itchy scrotum skin?

There you might have your answer. The scrotum will always somewhat itch after shaving. That doesn't mean you have an infection or exema or anything, just natural that when shaved, those parts its quite a lot. Try to apply lotion to your balls, should soften up the drier skin and remove the itching, though some will still persist due to it being shaved

This happens either due to shaving, or else you might be suffering of dry skin due to harsh soap. Try using gentle liquid soap and most probably you will see an improvement immediately.
