Persistent itchy scrotum after scabies treatment — could it be fungal or eczema?
I’ve had intense itching mainly around my scrotum for a while. I went to a doctor and was told it was scabies, but I never had itching on other parts of my body. I completed the full scabies treatment twice, but the itching still hasn’t gone away.
Now I’m wondering if it could actually be something like fungal infection (jock itch) or eczema/dermatitis instead. The skin sometimes feels irritated and itchy, especially with sweat and heat.
Has anyone experienced something similar where scabies treatment didn’t work and it turned out to be something else? What symptoms helped you tell the difference between fungal infection, eczema, or other causes?
I’m planning to see a dermatologist too, but wanted to ask if anyone had a similar experience.
