Hello, itching and peeling of the scrotal skin are typical clinical manifestations of candidiasis (a fungal infection), often accompanied by intense pruritus—patients commonly describe an unbearable, severe itch. It is crucial to advise patients not to scratch the affected area or apply hot water or heated towels, as such actions may worsen the condition. Topical application of calamine lotion or Pianping Cream (39 brand) to the scrotum can effectively relieve itching. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
