Need Medication For Jock Itch
Hello, a few months ago I think I got jock itch it was not to bad and when I put powder on it it got better... But it was not really going away and I got busy and forgot about it... They don't itch very often now but everyone in a while... I have felt pain on the left and right side every once in a while (similar to them being hit but not nearly as intense, just a dull pain) but I have gotton this pain everyday for the past 4 days now.. Random times of the day and only for a couple seconds... My testies also have looked purple for a while (unless they are really warm) but sitting on the toilet or before the shower they look purple

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must advise you, stop applying powder on your scrotal area.
This can cause severe itching and an allergic reaction.
Then don't try to itch over that area, or apply a lot of soap while bathing.
The purple color may be also be an early change of the same reaction, in which case, you'll need to show it to a dermatologist, or skin specialist.
If you're above 40 years age or have a family history of diabetes, check your blood sugar. Wear only cotton jocks.If you want my expert opinion on any doubt, send it as a direct question.
