What Causes Burning Sensation In Scrotum?

Hi .
My scrotum has a very light burning sensation.
My doctor says it could just be an irritation and to apply rash cream .
Footnote : I am on my last day of my 10 days of antibiotics, (APO-DOXY 100mg Tabs) .
Because I had protected (with a condom) oral sex with another paying partner .
My doctor tells me I do not have any std. Because the tests returned negative .
Why these pills.
She okayed me for sexual intercourse with my wife on the 9th day of antibiotics.
I must also say, before all this I say, I shave often my scrotum often, and it gets red or breaks out into a rash or bleeds when I use a new blade.
It does not feel right . I am concerned that the doc ,missed something and I just wanted to make sure .
Please help.

Hi
Thanks for asking HCM
It can be due to allergic reaction to shaving. It can be due to blade allergy or the shaving cream allergy. In such cases i give calamine lotion for local application and cetrizine tablet for oral intake. If that doesnt help then i give steroid cream for local application.Let me know if you have any further query.
I find this answer helpful
