Regarding itching on scrotum

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you.
I am Dr kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.
You may have a dermatitis on your scrotum during to shaving. I suggest you to use an OTC topical steroid cream e.g cortisone cream, twice daily for a week.. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine 10mg tab once every evening for symptomatic relief from itching.
