General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood that you have completed a course of high dose of steroids.
The scrotal skin responds in such a way that it becomes thin, secretes more secretions, one tends to itch and the tendency continues.
I would advise you the following:
First of all stop all the local applications to the skin of the scrotum.
Clean the area with plain water 2 to 4 times a day.
Apply liquid Povidone Iodine if there is evidence of any infection.
Keeping the area ventilated is very important.

Consult a Dermatologist to have a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Do not try anything at home.

I hope this answer helps you.
