Redness In The Scrotum With Occasional Itching. No Relief After Using Canesten Cream. Need To Continue Using This Medication?
hi i have been suffering for the last two weeks with a redness to the scrotum which is also extended halfway up the shaft of my penis. No pain just a very occasional itch. When it first started intensely hot and i used tea tree oil cream for two days which cooled it. I then realised that was probably not a good think. Went to pharmacist and she suggested canestin cream. Used that for a week but no change. Then saw a doctor on Tuesday who prescribed Travocort cream - a steroid- have been using that 3 times a day but it seems to be making the redness worse and it is now extended further up the shaft of my penis. I am at my wits end -I am going to Slovenia next week for a week. I dont know whether to continue with the steroid cream or discontinue. I am now getting really worried that it has gone on for so long
hello.. i think you have got a mixed infection. of the region. you should start with an antibiotic and a topical cream efective against fungal infections also. do get a routine urine examination done also. having anti inflammatory oral tabs may also help in relieving the symptoms quicker. you should be cautious of increasing symptoms & may need a USG scrotum if symptoms worsen.. rest take care and get well soon
