Hi
Welcome to the forum!
An itchy scrotum can be due to either sweat dermatitis or Tinea cruris infection (fungal). Keep the area dry, wear loose fitting clothes, and change undergarments at least twice a day. Many treatment options are there like Clotrimazole 1%, Miconazole nitrate 2%, Tolnaftate 1% and Butenafine hydrochloride 1%. Many OTC products containing these salts are available, your pharmacist can help. Try a combination of two and apply until the itch disappears. If this does not help, then it could be sweat dermatitis or eczema. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult a skin specialist.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
