Hello,
You have injured the skin of your scrotum in the past.
So there may be scar tissue formation in that area.
it causes itching. Due to itching you introduce repeated infection.
Maintain a good hygiene of the area.
Try not to scratch the area due to itching.
Apply topical antibiotics for 2 weeks.
If it is not subsiding then take oral antibiotics.
