<human>: In the last 2 days I developed a red rash on my scrotum. It does not itch but is sensitive. For the record, I used desoximetasome on the top of my penis starting 10 days ago but that never touched my scrotum. This was the medicine recommended by my dermatologist on a spot where a mole was removed which the lab said was squamous.
<bot>: Hi there, and thank you for your question. The redness on the scrotum does sound like an inflammatory response on the skin. You can use the desoximetasone on the affected area once a day until the sensitivity disappears or for a maximum of 10 days. By the end of the 10 days the rash should've resolved but if it hasn't then it is possible that the issue is due to a fungal infection. In that case you could use ketoconazole cream which you can get over the counter and apply it twice a day to the scrotum for 7-10 days. Once resolved, you should continue with the medication for another 3 days to make sure all the fungal spores have been killed so that the problem doesn't repeat itself. If the problem still persists the should consult with your doctor. I hope this helps and good luck.
