What is the treatment for itchy feeling on scrotum?
human
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.
