What Is The Treatment For Itchy And Painful Scrotum?

Recently my scrotum has been very itchy. I have also noticed several spots that at first looked like the beginning of a mole but actually seemed to be an open sore. Painful to touch yet still itches. I put some neosporen on it and eventually it healed up but has come back again. Any idea what it could be?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Scrotal dermatitis may be there to lead to such condition of scrotum. Cause may be excessive wetness, perspiration, excessive bath, soap, poor hygiene, poor immunity, anxiety and tension, etc. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

Antibiotic, oral steroid and antihistaminics would improve the condition along with taking care of precipitating factors. Keep the area dry. Do not use soap.


Thanks.
