What Is The Treatment For Itchy Scrotum?
I have an 18 month old who all of a sudden started scratching his scrotum, non stop. I have looked at it and it seems to have some bumps on them. What could be causing this? And how do I go about getting the itch relieved? I have taken off his diaper and have him in loose shorts, but the itch is still there.

Hello,
You can take antihistamine like cetirizine for itching. You can also apply topical anti-fungals like clotrimazole after cleaning with soap and water. If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
