What Is The Treatment For Itchy Feeling On Scrotum?

Hello, I recently noticed a very itchy feeling upon my scrotum . It is not the result of any type of injury but gradually has become worse. I resist from itching the area but do cleanse the area with Dettol on a napkin. What can I do to ease the itchy feeling and return to a normal state? Please help Thanks, Saurabh

Hello Saurabh,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post suggest that you might be having fungal infection.
Management includes:
1. Keeping the area dry & avoid too much exposure to water or sweat formation.
2. Antihistamine preparations like cetirizine to reduce the itching sensation & provide symptomatic relief.
3. Application of topical antifungal cream to tackle the causative organism.

If symptoms still persist or aggravate further, then it will be better to consult a Dermatologist & get a proper examination done to find out the actual cause.
So that appropriate management steps could be taken.

Also avoid wearing tight trousers & underwear...as it will cause sweating & predispose to fungal infections.
Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
