help please! why is my ball sack...

i am 17 years old. recently i just noticed my ball sack is very dry and scaly, and it is very red. my d.ick  seems fine, but from the base to the balls it is red, dry, and seems like its burning, and when i touch it feels warmer than usual.

....i was thinking of certain things that could have caused this. because it seems so random; it just started yesterday. i havent had unprotected sex, or sex at all recently...

the only thing i could think of is using stuff like clear skin acne gel or styling hair as lubricants to jerk off; i obviously did not have any lubricant.

could this have caused it?  i really hope it goes away soon; i have read some posts where guys mention they have had it for years now

Hi, im 16 and my mum told me 'if you have pea size lumps on your balls you should go to the doctors' but i have lumps which are small a little smaller than spots and a little bigger than blackheads I've been searching and I still don't know if its a bad thing or a normal thing and should it be treated? If it should. how? thanks a lot!

What it sounds like is that you've had some contact with an animal in a sexual manner.  Perhaps, the family dog.  Dogs do transmit scotum rash but only with sexual activity.  If you do not remember initiating any sexual activity with the dog, then it might have occured in what you thought was a funny moment.  A dry hump of the leg can quickly turn into a frosted leg.  Also dogs have been known to dry hump people in the ear while they sleep.  Have you ever noticed a wet ear upon awakening?  Follow that with a quick scratch of the scotum and bam....you got the fungus that dogs transmit!  Women are equally vulnerable.

I would drink a gang of water. Take a long hot bath every day continuously for at least a week while drinking at least a half a gallon of water. throughout the day. Also you may want to check out sheathunderwear.com, because they have a great product that will keep your balls separate from in between your legs which will at least help with the discomfort you are experiencing.
