You wouldn't want to get any Tetter-balls either, unless it's during gym class in elementary school.

"a vegetable parasitic disease" sounds funny and scary at the same time.

While I myself have no idea what exactly a "Tetter" is I once actually used Gold Bond
to alleviate the symptoms of the dreaded Jock Itch. It burned a lot.
After about 10 minutes, I found myself having to tear off my pants to splash water on my testicles.
One of the great things about Gold Bond is that the active ingredients are
menthol and camphor--both excellent for foreplay. Think carefully before
applying is the message I have for you.

By the way Ringworm is not a joke Ryan.
That is another story altogether.

Scott -- The world will never be the same knowing that you have contributed to the Ping. We welcome you and your itchy jock with open arms.

I too have often wondered about 'tetter', and until today have never known what the heck it was. Now that I have been schooled on tetter, I would like to learn aboout "the heartbreak of psoriasis." Why exactly does it cause heartbreak? Is it associated with failed relationships or what? Please help? My inquiring mind needs to know.

wow, a page dedicated to what the heck Tetter is! For the last 6 years every single thing I would see on my skin my boyfriend would point at it and yell "EEWW You have Tetter!" He had no idea what Tetter was, so he figured everything that looked odd was in fact Tetter. We would crack each other up with it.

Gold Bond powder on the balls - an orgasmic experience. Try it yourself. For an even more otherwordly experience, try extra strength or the Gold Bond lotion. Mmmmmm.

I have always wondered what "tetter" was when the commercial aired. Soon afterward, I would diagnose anyone who walked by with "tetter" Whether it was bad hair, odors, halitosis, or anybody that just had an itch......CREEPY!

My mother who will soon be 91 years of age, said that is why my thumb on my right hand is peeling, in layers, and just the top, from the first joint. It can be painful when it cracks open. Use of your thumb is numerous. I have not found anything to help. It comes and then goes of its own accord. She did not know and I don't know what causes it. I have none of the things previously mentioned in comments. However, I will try Gold Bond. I had not heard the advertisement. Am willing to try anything to help within reason.

Frances describes the tetter we knew in Texas long ago and the skin ailment we knew as "mesu mushi"--water worm- in Japan in the fifties

My wife and I accidentally ran across this website and to our dismay, we have been shopping at a NC based grocery store, "Harris Tetter". We were scared to think about all the food we had ingested from a store named after an itchy jock.

I thought I was the only one who actually looked up the word "tetter" after hearing it on the Gold Bond commercials. Now the next question, why the lady from Warren, Ohio? (I bet someone out there can remember her name) Who is she and why is the locaton relevant? Is there a tetter epidemic in Warren, Ohio?

OFF TOPIC, kinda:
Where will you be when your diarrhea comes back? Hopefully not shopping for Gold bond to treat your tetters! Seriously, I just last week developed shingles on my forehead. I went to Lowes and treated them with roofing nails. Treatment was painful, but they should stay put now!

Tetter! Found this site while trying to find out what Toni Morrison meant when she referred to "the tetter heads goading him" -- I think she might actually have just meant really pimply ... diseased does not seem to fit (it's in SULA)

Tetter is one of the conditions that were to be examined by by Aaron et al(priests) by G_d's direction through Moses after the Tabernacle was completed. The main concern was identifying leprosy(Hansen's Disease-no, not the singing group, although...). Leviticus 13.5, an interesting read.

When I was young (back in the 1940's) and ran around in the grass barefooted, I assume I was allergic to something - grass or weed - and would get itchy watery bumps - itchy itchy - on my feet. My parents said it was tetter.

I haven't had it for years but am still allergic to some grass or weed and get itchy on the top of my feet but no watery bumps.
