Suggest Remedy For Itchy Scrotum

My son is ten, and his scrotum (at the seam) is ichy. he scratched it at night and so the seam area is imflamed and almost bleeding. Went to doctor, and am applying 'SARNA' lotion, but seem to be not very effective. Planning on making a derma appot for him. What do you think this is? Thanks!

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
10 years old child having intense itch at scrotum is suggestive of fungal infection. You have not mentioned about any pus filled swelling or cyst at scrotum. There may be similar itching areas around his groin area also. Give some anti-histaminics like cetrizine or chlorpheniramine half tablet for 5 days under your physician advice. Keep the area clean and wash repeatedly under water. Ask him to keep the area dry and to wear clean dry innerwears.
Consult your dermatologist. He will examine the lesion at scrotum and other parts of body and accordingly will prescribe antifungal or antibacterial ointment.
