Eh, I happened to catch a glimpse today of the skin today near my balls and I noticed that it was pretty irritated and had some small pimple-like bump things. This sort of was, worrisome. I really doubt it is an STD because I haven’t had sex or done anything sexual for about 2 years, but I’m still concerned. It just appeared it seemed. I do happen to shave the area of skin that got the rash-looking thing on it, and I know that when you start shaving new skin it can react badly at first, but I shaved it first time about a month ago and I would have thought things like that would’ve already showed up by now. Could it just have gotten worse since I did shave it again when it was still a bit red? But it seemed to go from slightly red to a full blown rash and it looks really bad, so I’m not sure. I’m thinking of going to the doctor, but I don’t really want to because I haven’t had any sexual relationships for such a long time that I doubt/hope it’s not a STD. Any recommendations?
Perhaps, they’re ingrown hairs. (ow) On the other hand, that’ll teach ya.
Give one of those pimples a squeeze and find out.
IANAD, but, to me it sounds like heat rash. Has it been unusually hot where you live/have you been more active than usual – hiking, jogging etc?
Or – have you been wearing a wet bathing suit for extended periods of time? (Then you’re basically giving yourself the adult equivalent of diaper rash – human skin likes to be dry.)
Anyhoo, an ex-boyfriend of mine swore by Gold Bond’s Medicated powder for heat rash around the fellas. Or just get some pure cornstarch baby powder & dust the area liberally.
There is another possibility. The scrotum is covered with small little bumps that are actually some kind of gland (the name escapes me). If chaffed, they can burst releasing fluid into the surrounding tissue and producing a pimple like effect. This happened to me once after a period when I had taken up mountain biking. The doc said it was nothing to worry about and it healed on its own.
Still, I would see a doctor if I were you because you can never be too sure when it comes to the fellas. No need to be embarased, they see freakier stuff all the time.
Been there done that, as recently as two days ago. Your symptoms sound exactly like heat rash. A pharmacist recommended good old fashion Solarcaine, spray can, and although I was skeptical - it cleared it up within hours! Plus, that stuff goes on COLD. Kinda nice and tingly on the jibbly-bits.
On a side note, never shave down below with an old razor. Use a new fresh razor blade as small amounts of bacteria, etc. can be deposited on the sensitive skin of the nether regions. This can cause or add to an existing rash down there. Your facial skin is far more adept at handling this type of bacteria than the boys.
MeanJoe…
For various rashes and chafing in the nether regions I’ve had excellent luck with A&D ointment. You can pick it up in the section where they have diapers and baby wipes. It works wonderful, and you’ll feel instantly better, although smelling like a sheep for the duration. It’s primary ingrediant is lanolin. Still, no sex for two years? I’d chance it! 
So that’s what happens when you don’t have sex in two years! I need to get myself vaccinated fast!
And in cases of anal itching, I highly recommend Cortizone*10. Don’t ask.
The tube does warn against using for treatment of diaper rash.
