Hi doctor, I am 29 years old. I am suffering from itching genitalia for over 5-6 years and the severity would range from low to medium. It is mostly due to sweating in that area. I used to apply itch guard for a few days and it used to get fine. Now, over four to five months I have severe itching on my genitals that is in the penis, testicles and also the area below. I am using Candiderma powder frequently. But, when the problem increases I apply Quadriderm ointment at night for 2-3 days. There is also a lot of flaking and cracking of skin. I have attached the pictures of it. I usually end up itching while sleeping too. What can be the problem? What medication and precaution should I take?
Hi. Your problem seems to have lingered on to become a chronic hyperkeratotic scrotal eczema. This is a result of your hyperallergic tendency, constant scratching, sweat induced maceration and intermittent but incomplete treatments with suboptimal medicines. Till you revert with the answers, I advice you to do the following: 1. Sweating. 2. Tight undergarments. 3. Constant scratching. 4. Application of inappropriate creams intermittently. 1. Blood sugar levels fasting and postprandial. 2. Serum levels of IgE antibodies. Follow up in two weeks with pictures to a dermatologist online.--->
