Hello doctor,
I am a 21-year-old male. I am having a burning sensation and redness in my scrotum. I consulted two doctors from the same hospital. The doctor diagnosed it as scrotal dermatitis. The first doctor prescribed the following: Motimesh cream (to be applied at night) for 10 days, Abzorb Dusting Powder to be applied morning for 15 days, Atarax tablet to be taken at night for 10 days. After taking this course, after 15 days the itching was gone but still there was considerable burning and redness and irritation. So, I visited the hospital again and the following course was prescribed: Venusia max cream to be applied morning and afternoon, Dazit tablet to be taken at night for 10 days, Desowen cream to be applied at night for 10 days. Now, this course is also done and though there is a considerable improvement I am still having little redness mostly on one side of the scrotum and also some burning sensation. Kindly help me from this irritation.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your complaints and reviewed the attached photograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
It seems to be red scrotum syndrome. It is a chronic disease characterized by redness and burning on the scrotum. If I was your treating doctor, I would recommend you to take capsule Doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime, tablet Gabapentin 300 mg in the morning and tablet Levocetirizine at bedtime.
Along with this application of Tacrolimus 0.03 percent ointment on the affected areas at night and moisturizing cream during the daytime. Continue this for three weeks and revert.

Thank you doctor,
I have used the exact course of medicines that you have prescribed for three weeks. Overall, I can say that there has been good improvement, the shade of redness has decreased, my skin became hard like before and I did not experience burning or itching. However, still, a slight amount of redness reappears after my scrotum gets rubbed (due to running or friction between thighs). I have attached the picture here. After I sleep and wake up the next morning, it becomes black again with no red shade. I think I need further treatment.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it looks better (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
I would suggest you continue with capsule Doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime and tablet Gabapentin 300 mg once daily in the morning.
Also, apply Tacrolimus 0.03 percent ointment at night and moisturizing cream during daytime. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent.
Continue this for three weeks and revert.
