I have itching in my scrotum with reddish skin changes, and even after using DK gel, it has not improved, and the skin has become scaly. I had scabies one year ago. What should I do?

Itching in the scrotum with red, scaly skin that does not improve with treatment is often due to a fungal infection or irritation rather than scabies. Keep the area clean and completely dry, wear loose cotton underwear, avoid sweating, and do not scratch to prevent worsening. Avoid using strong or mixed creams on your own, as they can irritate the skin further. Since it is not improving and the skin is changing, consult a doctor to confirm the cause and start the right treatment.
