Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you are having excessive itching of the testicles. Usually this is due to either fungal infection or to bacterial overgrowth. I would first recommend getting Lamisil powder for jock itch to see if that reduces the itching. If that does not work you may need to us an antibacterial soap on your groin are to reduce bacterial growth. Bacteria and fungus like areas that are warm moist and dark to grow so if you can reduce sweating you may also reduce growth of bacteria and fungus. If the above measures don't help try spray antiperspirant. This reduce sweating may also help reduce growth of the bacteria and fungus.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
