Itching Sometimes In The Public Area. The Testicles Tick To Inner Thighs, Red Dots On The Thighs. Is It Jock Itch ?
Question: Sometimes I get an itch in my pubic area...howverr there no bumps or anything like that. My testicles stick to my inner thigh. My area has looked darker. Also there were red dots on my inner thigh but I'm thinking that was Jock Itch and that has helped but you can still see red spots
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Feeling itchy in the pubic area with small red spots could be due to skin conditions as dermatitis, allergy or infection. Most of the times such skin conditions do improve after application of hydrocortisone ointment.
Sometimes just itching can also be due to fungal infection and requires antifungal creams as Cotrimazole or lotrimin.
Some measures for you:
1)Apply icepack on the area and then observe for any changes.
2)Apply calamine lotion for relief from itching.
3)Keep the area dry and apply Neosporin powder after consulting your Primary Physician.
If the symptoms persist or associated with discharge etc then consider visiting your Healthcare Professional for evaluation.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.

what about my testicles sticking to my inner thigh, as well as my shaft sticking to my testicles?
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The problem of sticking of the skin could be related to the fungal infection or due to dampness in the area - may be excessive sweating.
You need to keep the area thoroughly dry to avoid the problem. You can also use a clotrimazole dusting powder after washing and drying the area twice daily.
Hope my answer is helpful.
