What Is The Treatment For Red Itchy Scrotum?
Hi, recently i noticed my scrotum sack became very itchy. I used anti itch cream and the itching stopped The next day it came back and it got worse. It became red and itchy to the point where i couldnt sleep. Im trying alot of creams and vaseline and nothing has been working to the point where i see any differences. Its been 3 days and my scrotum is swollen. I went online and ive seen names like Jock itch , but im not sure. Whats wrong ? Please help and tell me what i have. Thanks. By the way im only 13

you have not mentioned whether you have had any sexual contact or masturbation, do you bath daily ?? okay so it seems from your description that you have fungal infection around your private parts ; it could be Tinea infection. you may contact your local physician or dermatologist who may examine your private parts and may diagnose Tinea infection confirmly. you may take cetrizine 5 mg at night for temporary relief and also take fluconazole 150 mg weekly along with miconazole cream to apply on your private parts. you must consult a dermatologist in physical before taking these medication.
