How to cure itching in the testicles despite medications?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have been suffering from itching on my testicles for a few days, and usually, it increases at night when I am about to sleep. For the past two days, the itching has started in the day time. I applied Clocip dusting powder; it relieves the itching for some time the itching returns. Please give me a permanent solution to the problem.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I understand your concern. Please answer the following questions for details. Are there similar complaints from family members or partner? Do you maintain proper genital hygiene? Do you have excessive scratching and rubbing of lesions? Do you have a history of Scabies (an infection of the skin by a human itch mite)?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. It appears to be a general itch due to improper hygiene and not keeping the area dry (frequent moisture, warmth, friction, occlusion, or heat). A possible diagnosis is genital scabies. I would advise the following. Apply 5 % Permethrin cream at night on days one and seven (contact period eight to twelve hours); repeat after one week. Permite BB (Elestab) bar or KZ soap (Ketoconazole) for two months. Maintain proper hygiene as hygiene plays a vital role. Keep the area clean and dry. Wear clean nonocclusive clothes, boxers, or inners. Wash clothes regularly and iron them. Tablet Loratidine once after breakfast for ten days (if itching is present). Avoid scratching and rubbing of lesions as it may cause secondary bacterial infection. Follow up after one week.

I understand your concern. Yes, you can apply Clocip powder (Clotrimazole and Lidocaine). However, another better option is Abzorb dusting powder (Clotrimazole powder) after a bath in areas of sweating and avoid activities that cause sweating.
