This is not a joke.

mt testicles are tingling. They have tingled for 5 years. It's very annoying, has anyone ever had this feeling or heard of anyone with it? ANY Clue to solve this would be great, since the doc can't find anything and think i am having imaginary whatevers.

i also itch around there, and have pains around the area. I had shingles and that's it.

This is a wild shot in the dark but are you a cyclist by any chance? Or do you use a stationary bicycle for exercise?

There's something called "Bicycle Seat Neuropathy".
Doctors have found that the genital branch of the genital-femoral nerve could be injured and therefore cause scrotal paresthesia (tingling in the testes). Also pain.

Possible in your case?

I agree with zuzu...though the vast majority of "sensory abnormalities" when it comes to the testicles tend to be a result of hypervigilance. Why? Well, for the fact that I'm sure that any guy (including myself) would be deathly afraid if it felt like something was going on with the testicles, and once you start noticing something, you tend to notice ALL the small things which can lead to more and more negative thinking that something is wrong.

I think if you're really concerned, have an ultrasound done of your testicles to see if there is any problem with blood flow or something. I'm pretty sure you'll find that everything will be totally normal.

This may sound obvious but have you tried changing your soap powder some detergents may irratate the more sensitive parts of the body, hope it works
