Namastey
Persistent itching of the scrotal area for almost a year along with dryness, swelling, and small hard lumps under the skin is more suggestive of a chronic skin-related condition rather than a primary sexual problem. Conditions such as Scrotal dermatitis, fungal irritation, blocked glands, thickened skin from repeated scratching, or small sebaceous/follicular cysts can sometimes present this way. Chronic itching itself can make the skin dry, thick, darker, and more sensitive over time.
Next Steps
Avoid scratching repeatedly, as this worsens irritation and thickening of the skin. Stop using harsh soaps, antiseptics, or excessive rubbing in the area. Wear loose cotton undergarments and keep the region dry, especially after sweating. Do not apply random steroid or antifungal creams without proper guidance, as inappropriate use can worsen chronic irritation. Since the problem has been present for a long time and you are now noticing lumps and swelling, a proper examination is advisable for accurate diagnosis and long-term relief.

Health Tips
Maintain proper hygiene but avoid over-cleaning sensitive genital skin. Change sweaty clothes promptly and avoid tight-fitting underwear for long durations. Keep the area moisturized naturally and avoid scratching even during itching episodes. Stress and anxiety can also worsen chronic itching tendencies, so maintaining overall physical and mental balance is beneficial for skin recovery. Thank you
