What Causes Scrotal, Penis, Thigh And Buttock Itching And Burning Sensations?
Thank You,Doc!2005 December I made love to my then wife and after a week I started experiencing burning itchiness all over my scrotum, penis, thighs and buttocks area. I took some antibiotics and applied some topical creams but the relief was for just a while. Though the intensity of the itchiness have decreased over the years, it remains albeit localized. What got me worried is that I made love again to my new wife and she have started itching around her thighs. I have had a clean bill of health after taking many tests including HIV, Hepatitis and others. What the hell (excuse my language) is wrong with my body? What do I do?

Thank you for query. It appears to be fungal infection. Please clean area with warm water twice daily. Apply antifungal like terbinafine.once subsides use antufungal dusting powders like candid powders to keep a area dry and prevent recurrence. Wear loose clothes. Treat partner also.
