Is Lotrimin Safe For Red And Inflamed Scrotum?
My scrotum is red and has inflammation. Occasionally when I wake up I noticed that I have scratches on my scrotum and have awoke scratching myself uncontrollably. I have purchased both monistat and Lotrimin. The monistat helped a lot the first night with my itching and some of the redness went away. Then it just stopped improving. I am now using Lotrimin but am just starting. Any suggestions. This has been an ongoing issue for four years and it is starting to make me uncomfortable when I am intimate.
