What Causes Severe Itching On The Scrotum?

Stop the itch scratch cycle
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand the concern.
Knowing or Unknowing you are intiating the itch and scratching it. Scratch further cause itch. So the cycle of itch-scratch-itch has to be stopped by all means to give relief and blunt the complications. You should look for good anti itch medications like Hydroxyzine up to 25mg a dose. Also cut your nails to the last so that you just rub and do not scratch it further injuring the skin. Wear pants at night and tie knots so that you do not scratch at night during sleep. You can apply CALAMINE with ALOEVERA gel over the scratch areas at night or whenever it itches.
Further it looks your Tinea, a fungal infection, commonly called jock itch. Terbinafine or Clotrimazole should be helpful. Commonly available anti fungal dusting powders are helpful immediately after shower. The area should be kept dry.
All these measures would definitely help.
