What Is The Treatment For Itchy Scrotum Which Bleeds At Times?
I have a really itchy scrotum. My Dr has prescribed steroid creams in the past but they are not very effective so I stopped using them. For a while, I was slathering myself with vasoline which seemed to help for a while.but then the itching resumed so I have discontinued. I do hope you can help with this problem as i often scratch so hard that i bleed so this makes infection a hazard. Thank-you

Hello
Thanks for query.
The itching of scrotum seems to be due to fungal infection
Use topical anti fungal ointment like Meconazole twice daily.
Ensure to wash your genital area with warm soap water twice daily before applying ointment .
Ensure to wash your inner wares in boiling hot water mixed with antiseptic solution like Dettol .
Ensure to use loose inner wares .
This will get cures within 5 days.
