Need Help: Pubic Hair Itching

[Frank2500]

Guys, I know it's gonna be hard for some of you not to laugh at this, but it's becoming a pretty serious issue that concerns me. Recently in the past several months, my pubic hair area (scrotum area) has been itching a whole lot. For some reason, it seems to itch me most when I'm at the gym working out on the triceps machines etc., for example. It doesn't itch me as much when I'm home. Many times I've had to interrupt my workouts to go to the Men's restroom just so that I don't have to be scratching in front of a whole bunch of people, especially women at the gym. Is there any kind of ointment that I could rub on that area to stop this itching for good? Please try not to laugh too much. I can see the humor in this, but I really want this itching to stop.

could it be that you only notice it in social settings and dont notice any itching at home?
could it be that you only itch when you get sweaty?
could it be crabs?

What does your gym attire consist of?

When you work out, what type of clothing do you wear? Do you wear it any other time?

I am think maybe that material may bother "things" when you are hot and sweaty. You may want to try a different fabric and see if that helps.

Re:

Thanks for your responses, guys. Sorry for writing back so late. I didn't have access to my computer for several days. Sometimes I don't get a chance to check my e-mail on weekends. As far as your questions, I usually wear the same pair of shorts, (a black pair of shorts-I wash them three days a week before I go to the gym, though) with a different T-shirt most of the time. I'm hoping it's not crabs, but in case it happens to be crabs, is there any ointment or any medication that I can use?

best trick is to shave everything down there or you will be using lice shampoos down there. thats what crabs is... pubic lice. i never had the pleasure, but i know some folks that did. they said shaving was a fast way to end the madness of the itching.
but since you arent itching any other time, its most likely not crabs.

so then you go back to sweating while you work out and whatever you are wearing.

Re: Thanks a Lot

Thanks a lot for that last post, man. I appreciate it. Sometimes I used to wonder if it could also be the lotion that I tend to use. I often use "Jergens Ultra Healing Lotion" and every once in a while, my skin would itch, though not as often at all this summer like it used to do in winter.

Now I'm all for chicks up on this site...but I find it unbelievably hilarious that not one, but two females would reply to a thread about male genitalia! :crackup:

Re:

The itching subsided somewhat today. I shaved the genital area yesterday. It still itched once in a while at the gym today, but not a lot.
