I've been dealing with this itchy feeling in my scrotum for about two weeks now. What's going on, and is there any medicine you can recommend to help with it?

An itchy scrotum can be uncomfortable and concerning. Before recommending any medication, it's essential to consider potential causes of the itchiness. Here are a few possibilities: 1. Jock itch (Tinea cruris): A fungal infection that can cause itching, redness, and flaking skin in the groin area. 2. Scabies: A parasitic infection caused by mites that can lead to intense itching, especially at night. 3. Eczema (Atopic dermatitis): A chronic skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. 4. Contact dermatitis: An allergic reaction or irritation caused by exposure to certain substances, such as soaps, detergents, or fabrics.While waiting for a doctor's appointment, you can try the following self-care measures: 1. Maintain good hygiene: Keep the genital area clean and dry. 2. Avoid scratching: Try to resist scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation. 3. Wear loose, breathable clothing: Reduce irritation and discomfort by wearing comfortable clothing. 4. Apply cool compresses: A cool, wet compress can help reduce itching and inflammation.
