Recently I developed a case of itchy balls that are much itchier than normal. Also, the smell that is always there got worse. I did recieve oral about a month ago unprotected... stupid i know but these are the only symptoms so any STD i can think of is out. These symptoms developed a couple weeks ago maybe...can't remember very well. There also looks to be some chafing on the inner thigh near the groin. Is this just some jock itch? i plan on seeing a physician after xmas prolly.. any help would be appreciated.

Well you say it has an odor, and skins peeling? It could just be a simple fungal infection(yeah jock itch), this is extremely common. Because it's been several weeks, I suggest you go to a doctor for a cream(and to double check the cause). Generally if it isn't severe in any way, you can just take some extra measures to 'cure' it. Stay away from damp towels, steamy lockerrooms, keep your underwear clean and dry, make sure to really dry off after a shower. I mentioned lockerrooms because they're a breeding ground for fungi. Other than that all around cleanlieness, doctor + cream= good. Lol. GL.

Yes, a fungal infection is likely. You can get cream for fungal infections from a pharmacy without having to get a prescription; there may even be some stuff in the medicine cabinet. Anything for tinea/athlete's foot/ringworm/yeast should be fine. It's worth trying that first before you go to the doctor. If it works, keep using it for at least a week after all symptoms have gone, to make sure it doesn't come back.
