Itching over the scrotum
I am experiencing itching over my balls over the last 2 days. I was diagnosed with fungal infection about a week ago. I started using ketostar soap.
Over the last 3-4 days I applied setrabet cream and my scrotum has started to itch badly.
I am not sure if it is because of anti fungal cream.
After bath I feel fine but the itching starts again. I don't know what to do .
I am also taking urticaria medicine since 3-4 weeks, i.e anti histamines.(teczine and dazit as recommended by my dermatologist.)
Don't know whether the itching is fungal or because of some other reason.
