General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of itching of the scrotal skin, making the area to swell followed by scabbing for the lesion to reappear and so on.
The commonest reason of such a problem is scabies
Allergic dermatitis.

I would advise you the following in such a case.
Daily cleaning the scrotum twice with plain water.
Apply gamma benzene benzoate only once and take antihistamine fpr a few days.
Treat the underwear and the bed linen
Use tetmosol soap and see the results.
If there is no complete recovery, it is better to consult a General Surgeon or a Dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
I find this answer helpful
