Chronic itch in groin area scrotum etc
I have this continuous itching in my scrotum area and genitalia for the last several years which is not going away . Neither is it ringworm etc . I have been applying betnovate n and betnovate c and it just helps keep the itch away for the day but it starts again in the night or even one day if I skip the ointment . Am worried as regular use of betnovate could have other side effects . Please prescribe a good and appropriate medicine . Had show to skin specialists also but not cured as yet .
This may be psoriaisis or scrotal eczema. Stop using betnovate, it is not safe in the area your are applying it. Fungal infection also needs to be ruled out. Please visit my clinic or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment

Don't worry..100percent cure possible..Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
