I also have a itching sensation at times during the day
on the scrotum! I scratch it and it gives off a couple drops of blood on my underwear! I think this is due to me taking Xanax which my doctor prescribes (The mediction stated that itching can
occur with possible rash or hives?) What are your comments?
Can eczema be caused by hard water? This did tend to start when we moved to a new area that has hard water and we have no water softener. However, I have no undue itchiness or dryness on the rest of my body.
If it is eczema shouldn't I have dryness, cracking skin or some other symptoms? None of which I have.
Thanks for the advice. I will try the hydrocortisone.
"Jock itch" medications are antifungal, but rashes that affect the scrotum are rarely fungal. Most often they represent eczema or some other similar sensitivity. My advice is to set up an appointment with a dermatologist. While you are waiting to do, try applying over-the-counter 1& hydrocortisone twice a day, and then moisturizing on top of it with Lubriderm lotion. Your response (expected) or lack of response will help the skin doctor figure out how to fix you up.
Take care.
