How To Cure Itching And Burning Of The Scrotum?

I've had Athetes foot for years, on the tops and sides of me feet, sometimes bad enough to soak my socks with clear sweat like fliud, sometimes not bad at all. Yesterday it moved to my scrotum, it began as an itch, and is now a burn and literally SOAKS any shorts or boxers im wearing. Powder hasn't helped, and anti itch cream hasnt help much other then allowing me to sleep. I have been washing the area 2 or 3 times a night as well as changing shorts.
