I'm dealing with a recurring issue where I feel a burning sensation in my scrotum, but it's not constant. It kicks in after I've been driving for more than 30 minutes or sitting for a long time. I already talked to a dermatologist who suggested I try HH Zole ointments, but after using it for a week, I haven't seen much improvement. Could you please offer some advice?

The intermittent burning sensation in your scrotum, triggered by prolonged driving or sitting, may be due to a fungal infection, friction, or irritation; since the prescribed HH Zole ointment (an antifungal) was ineffective, consider consulting a urologist to rule out other conditions, such as epididymitis, orchitis, or a urinary tract infection, and explore alternative treatments, like antifungal oral medications, steroid creams, or lifestyle modifications, including wearing loose-fitting clothing, avoiding tight underwear, and taking regular breaks to stretch and move during long drives.
