Maybe you got the crabs. Or jock itch. Or something else. Why not ask your doctor? Thanks for using ChaCha!
Your balls can be sweaty so you might just want to take some Gold Bond Powder and rub that in. It will feel good. ChaCha on!
Two reasons you itch in this area, either too much sweat or too much washing. Believe it or not, too much washing is more common.
Occasional itching is normal. But if you have to itch so much that your skin is cracking, get checked for fungal infection.
