What Causes Redness And Itching On The Testicles?

I have itching on my testicles. The skin is red. In summer it was ok but in winter it becomes more itchy. I used MomeGalen but its affects last only for some hours and then itching starts. I have read on internet about Canesten cream. Is it good to use for itching of testicles? or should i use some other cream for itching treatment?

waiting for your reply.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Itching and redness in the scrotal region could occur due to bacterial infection and inflammation of the skin in the region.
Kindly do the following to overcome the same.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Use anti-bacterial medicated soaps to take bath regularly.
3. After drying, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the lesions.
4. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day to control itching.
5. Wear loose fitting undergarments to prevent friction and providing proper ventilation.
Main good personal hygiene. Gradually your symptoms should subside and be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
