Suggest Treatment For Itchy Scrotum With Watery Discharge
Question: I hav a very itchy srotum and when I sratch it watery liquid comes out
Brief Answer:
fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Itchy scrotum can be due to a fungal infection of the skin.
This type of infection is sometimes called tinea cruris. Often there is a red rash associated with the infection that gets worse when you itch it.
Treatment for this is a simple anti-fungal cream that can be placed on the effective area.
Another possible cause of this problem is a parasite infection. This can cause profound itching of an area of the skin often without findings on the skin.
Depending on the type of parasite, these infections can be treated with medicated creams.
Finally, certain allergic reactions can cause these symptoms.
I suggest that you consult a dermatologist for clinical examination and to rule out the cause.
Meantime I suggest you antihistamines like cetrizine 10 mg.This medication you will get over the counter.
Hope i have answered your query.
