  5. I'm dealing with a recurring itching issue in my scrotum that's been going on for about three years. I noticed it went away when I used dexoderm cream, but now it's coming back. It's not overwhelming, but it can get pretty uncomfortable at times. What could be causing this, and should I keep using the same cream or try something else?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a recurring fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding irritants like scented soaps can help prevent further irritation.
