I've been dealing with this persistent itching in my testicles for the past six months and it's becoming seriously uncomfortable. It's making it really hard to sleep at night and doing any kind of physical activity like running or jogging, which used to be so easy for me, is now a challenge. Do you think I should see a dermatologist for this?

Regular exercise can improve circulation, potentially aiding in the prevention of new lipomas. However, for removal, surgical options are often the most effective.
