Severe itching
Yesterday night at 2 am, I experienced sudden severe itching on foreskin. There was no relief even on scratching. So, I applied Rexizole-B cream which was given by a Dr, 2 months ago for balanitis. I don't have balanitis now.
But this itching was on the foreskin unlike under the foreskin and glans. No redness now. Mild redness was there after I scratched.
The cream gave sudden relief and I did get such itch again.
Can there be a bigger problem? There are no symptoms now. Should I see a doctor?
