What ointment can be used for itching in the male scrotum?
Disease description:
Recently, there has been a persistent itching sensation in the scrotal area. I would like to know what topical medications are suitable for male scrotal itching.

When men experience scrotal itching, appropriate ointments can be selected according to the underlying cause. If the itching is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotic ointments such as erythromycin ointment or Bactroban (mupirocin ointment) can be used, as these medications effectively reduce inflammation and relieve itching. If the cause is a fungal infection, antifungal medications such as Daktarin (ketoconazole) or Pirusong (compound clotrimazole ointment) are recommended, as they are highly effective against fungal infections. For scrotal itching caused by eczema or allergies, corticosteroid-containing ointments such as Piyanping or尤卓尔 (triamcinolone acetonide ointment) may be considered, although prolonged use should be avoided. In addition, ointments such as mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream (e.g., Hirudoid) and zinc oxide ointment also have moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties and can help alleviate itching symptoms. While applying the ointments, it is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the scrotal area and avoid excessive scratching to promote recovery.
