I'm surprised your doctor recommended steroids while undergoing antiviral therapy if that is the cause of your rash and itching. Generally they don't recommend long term use of steriods while treating but will write for a prescription strength antihistamine, such as Atarax or Vistaril.
Haven't heard of acupuncture as a rememdy but who knows, if the itching is driving you nuts it's worth a try.

He didn’t mention it was his nuts that were itching.

Great balls of fire he didn't mention that did he.

Bobby, I think I misunderstood the type of steroid. I thought it was an oral 10mg. Topical Cortizone should be fine.
"He didn't mention it was his nuts that were itching"
Did I overlook somthing? He also didn't mention that he was male.
