Suggest Remedy For Severely Itchy Scrotum Turning The Skin Red And Swollen With No Help From Any Ointments

I have a terribly itchy scrotum. I ve had this condition for many years, ten plus, and have gone to numerous dermatologist and have always been prescribed some sort of ointment, none of which worked and some of which only made the condition worse. I have been told every time that it is not what is considered Jock Itch and one dermatologist even told me that it was incurable even though she didn t know exactly what it was. I have tried skin creams which help for a short period but never really cure it. When it itches it is not possible for me not to scratch it and when I do it just itches more and does not stop until the skin is red and swollen.

from the description it looks like a jock itch only, but if so many dermatologists say it is not... then it must be something else.
it would be great to get few pics to understand your problem.
if u wish to try another treatment for jock itch.... try fluconazole 150mg tablets once per week along with creams you use.
i would suggest you show to a good dermatologist and they will be able to diagnose it.
