I have graves disease and TED. Currently in remission since December.

I have itchy testicles. Has anyone passed through this?

I know with Hashimoto's (hypothyroid) that dry, itchy skin, genitals, and eyes are very common. I assume it could also be an issue with Grave's. Oftentimes when skin is overly soft (as can happen with Grave's or with collagen disordered skin (Ehlers-Danlos or other collagen mutations) it can be very prone to painful dryness, as well.

But, you may be reacting to something in your environment. Fragranced clothes detergents, personal care, hard water, food sensitivities, fatty acid or vitamin/ mineral deficiencies, etc. could be aggravating factors.

Best of luck finding the culprit(s). :)

I don't have any being a woman but I do have a itchy scalp and neck sometimes. Graves' can affect your skin and hair. It could be hair growing back ... just a thought

Get some unsented soaps and shampoos. Use avocado oil to moisturise area as dry skin be itchy.

See GP to make sure you don’t have anything that needs treating, it a warm dark and moist area and a great breading ground for all sorts of thinks.

If it’s related to dryness, I have found coconut oil great for skin and it’s supposed to be anti-fungal and antibacterial and safe for intimate use, in women at least.
