Could Extreme Itchiness In Scrotum Suggest Fordyce Spots?
Hi. I have been perusing online diagnosis sites, and have decided that I have fordyce spots on my scrotum. I, however, am still a little concerned with how itchy my scrotum is. Could it be because of the Fordyce spots? Or is something else I should be concerned about?
Itchiness on scrotum can be due to dryness of skin, itchy dermatosis or fungal infection. Fordyce spots are just spots on scrotum and they do not cause itching. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
