How To Get Rid Of Itching And Tickling In Scrotum/anus?
hi there, I have had this for a number of years. I have itching on my scrotum, and this skin looks slightly elephant like. It also cracks into scales that can be peeled off. It then leaves newer looking skin. However it does become tickly and itchy.
On my penis, I have developed small patches which have changed in pigmentation after turning scaly as such. However when this dry skin goes it leaves the new wkin with a different pigmentation.
I also have itching around my anus.
I have visited the doctors a number of times and had STD checks - STD was fine and Doc gave me Daktarin which didnt help in the long term.
Please help?!

Hi,I did review your concern
Your problem could be due to fungal infection or limited psoriasis of scrotum
I would advice you to consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated. even a small punch biopsy and tissue diagnosis may help as you have been taking daktarin which is an antifungal and it is not working, Meanwhile you can apply a bland moisturizer to keep the local skin soft and moist. However conulting a dermatologist is highly recommend by me.
I hope this helps
wish you a ahealthy life ahead
