Suggest OTC Medication For Recurring Itchy Scrotum

in early september it was very hot and i wore jeans and was unable to shower or change my boxers for about 5 days. on the 4th day my ball sack itched really bad and I scratched excessivly and that night it felt as if my ball were on fire. since then i have reoccuring bouts with this symptom of my balls will itch and then scale up and peel only in two spots that touch my inner thighs. I have been using lotrimin AF, but this seems to only work til its cleared up. About two weeks after i stop using the lotrimin the itching returns... is there something over the counter that I can get to cure this problem

Hello,

It may be due to fungal infection.

For that you may apply ointment containing clotrimazole and hydrocortisone locally.

You may take tablet loratidine for itching.

Avoid sweating.

Maintain proper hygiene.

Use loose cotton clothes.

Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
