Brief Answer:
Scrotal LSC

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service..I have reviewed your query and viewed the images.
It is scrotal LSC(Lichen simplex chronicus).
Is it itching as before or has the itching reduced?
I suggest you to continue with the medication for another 2-4 weeks. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg tablet once a day for a few days.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.
