Brief Answer:
Eczematous in nature or senile pruritus, antihistaminic, topical steroid,

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
Itching in the scrotal area could be eczematous in nature or due to senile pruritus.
I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg twice daily and apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily along with frequent and regular application of a moisturizing cream on the entire pubic area 2-3 times in a day for 2 weeks.
This should improve your condition.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
