Hi,
You have been bothered by testicular itching on and off for years. This itching and possible redness of the scrotum or inguinal area is likely due to a fungal infection. A fungus is an opportunistic infection that grows in places that are dark, warm and moist which describes the scrotal area very well. Your doctor decided to use the clobetasol to control the itching from the fungal infection.
I would recommend that in addition to using the clobetasol for the itching that you also add tinactin or Lamisil powder to reduce the fungus.
In summary
1. clobetasol to reduce itching only
2. Add tinactin or Lamisil for possible fungal infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
