I'm 23 now and have had this small lesion on one side of my scrotum since I was 14. Occasionally, I notice some black colored dead skin coming off it. I looked it up online, and it seems like it might be angiokeratoma. It's not painful, but I'm worried because it seems to be spreading slowly. Should I be concerned or get it checked out?

View allI'm having this really annoying issue where my scrotum gets super itchy, especially at night. It's been happening for a few months now. The itchiness kind of eases up after I rub it, but it also seems to make it more prone to itching later on. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
An itchy scrotum can be uncomfortable and concerning. Possible Causes 1. Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): A fungal infection that thrives in warm, moist environments. 2. Seborrheic Dermatitis: A skin condition causing scaly, itchy, and red patches. 3. Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): A chronic skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. 4. Contact Dermatitis: An allergic reaction or irritation caused by soaps, detergents, or other substances. 5. Scabies: A parasitic infection caused by the scabies mite. 6. Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or minerals like zinc can cause itchy skin. Symptoms and Characteristics 1. Itching worsens at night: This is common in cases of jock itch, scabies, or eczema. 2. Itching reduces after rubbing: This might provide temporary relief but can also lead to further irritation and itching. 3. Itch-prone skin: This could be a sign of an underlying skin condition or allergy. What to Do Next 1. Consult a Doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause of your itchy scrotum. 2. Keep the Area Clean and Dry: Practice good hygiene, and avoid sharing personal care items. 3. Avoid Scratching and Rubbing: Try to resist the urge to scratch or rub the affected area, as this can exacerbate the condition. 4. Apply Topical Creams or Ointments: Over-the-counter creams or ointments, such as hydrocortisone or calamine lotion, can help soothe the skin and reduce itching. 5. Consider Antifungal or Antibacterial Treatments: If your doctor suspects a fungal or bacterial infection, they may prescribe antifungal or antibacterial medications

I've noticed that my body odour is really unpleasant, and I'm not quite sure which type of specialist I should talk to about this. Could it be related to something medical that needs specific attention?
Visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management as there could be microbial infection

I've been struggling with a fungal infection on my scrotum for about 2 years now and I've tried so many different medications like terbinafine, fluconazole, and griseofulvin, along with fexofenadine and levocetirizine, and even injections like Taxim and Mocef, but nothing seems to work. Itraconazole helped a bit but still hasn't cleared it up completely. I'm really not sure what to do next. Can you give me some advice?
