How Can An Itching Scrotum Rash With Pain And Redness Be Treated?

I have a very itchy rash on the scrotum only, no other area, that started 10 days ago. I have been checked for STD and results came up negative. I did use a hair remover that caused great pain, redness that preceded the itchy rash. Although slightly a little better now, it is still bothersome and I m wondering what type of Dr I should see or if there is any topical cream I could try out first? Any help much appreciated.

Hi.
As per your case history you are suffering from irritant contact dermatitis on scrotum due to hair remover cream
My treatment advice -
1. Avoid using hair remover cream in future. Use scissors or trimmer instead.
2. Apply a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone cream on scrotum twice daily.
3. Oral anti-histaminic like levocetrizine can be taken for itching. If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
