Itchy scrotum
I have a small itchy patch on my scrotum for the last six months.It never get bigger or smaller and never goes away,it also has a silvery look to it.I have tried wearing loose underwear and creams for eczema, moisturisers and thrush and none have worked.
A related discussion, A lot of spots/ patches on scrotum that itch a lot was started.

An itchy spot on the scrotum is usually eczema. Perhpas the cream you're using is OTC and too weak. Maybe you're defeating it by scratching. Why not see a doctor, get a definitve diagnosis and treatment?
Meanwhile, apply 1% hydrocortisone several times a day, moisturize at least twice with vaseline, and never scratch. If that doesn't work in 10 days, see a physician.
Best.
