How Can Scrotal Itching Be Relieved?

Hello Doctor,
I am a male 26 years old with a severe scrotal itch for the past one week.

In the beginning the itch was somewhat caused by a "flaky" scrotom" which i can observe with some "dust" kind of remains in my underwear. I used to wash my groin area with "Cinthol" dry it and change into a clea underwear twice a day.

But then, the itch worsened a couple of dyas backand after rubbing my scrotom in the event of an unbearable itch - I get this "blood stain" in only those area. Hence I cut my nails and applied shower to sower. But the itch never reduced.

There is nothing specific that i was able to observe in my scrotum but ofcourse, It was a but dry and scaly for the last whole week. NOw i bought some topical ketakonazole cream NIZRAL and applied it during nigt and have bought Nu-Force anti fungal cream. Also got a prescribed LORPAST tablet. I am just starting with these medicines but still i have this bad itch and dirt/dust coming from my scrotum if i rub it to releive.

Any suggestions on what it might beplease.
