Topical Itching around testes 48yrs Male
I am experiencing Topical itching over the surface of and around the testes since last one week. Im applying Candid-B cream on and around the testes twice daily and it subsides for 6-10 hrs, but crops up next morning after bath. Prickling type sensation happens all day. Pls advise?
Is there a spot or markings on your testes or just red patches on skin after itching that vanish afterwards?
Kindly give picture..

Based on your symptoms, this is most likely tinea cruris.Candid b contains a steroid that can temporarily reduce inflammation and itching. But it can also suppress the immune response locally.
Next Steps
What you should do is, stop candid b and use antifungal creams without steroids (clotrimazole 1%).
Keep area dry and cool. Gently pat the area after bath (avoid rubbing)
Regularly change your underwear.
Review after 7-10 days if the symptoms persist.

Hello 👋
Itching around the testes, especially if it worsens after bathing and returns daily despite using Candid-B, is suggestive of tinea cruris (fungal infection).
👉 Important note: Candid-B contains a steroid (beclomethasone) which may reduce itching temporarily but can worsen the fungal infection over time.
Here's what you can do:
✅ Stop Candid-B immediately.
✅ Use a plain antifungal cream (e.g., clotrimazole, terbinafine, or luliconazole) twice daily for at least 2–4 weeks.
✅ Keep the area clean and dry – use antifungal dusting powder during the day.
✅ Wear loose cotton underwear and avoid sharing towels.
✅ Wash clothes in hot water and sun-dry to kill spores.
📌 If the issue persists or worsens, I recommend a dermatologist consult. You may need an oral antifungal if the infection is extensive or recurring.
Hope this helps!
Take care 😊
