Hello,

Most commonly due to severe allergic dermatitis / eczema with secondary fungal–bacterial irritation, worsened by sweating and moisture at night.

Scabies is also a possibility if itching is worse at night and involves groin

Hydroxyzine 25 mg – 1 tablet at night after dinner

Clotrimazole + Miconazole + Zinc oxide cream :For wet, cracked, itchy fungal-irritated skin

For dry & cracked foreskin Liquid paraffin + white soft paraffin (moisturizer): Apply 3–4 times/day, especially after bath

For Bathing Stop ketoconazole soap Use mild soap (Dove / Cetaphil / Sebamed) Lukewarm water only

If not improving after 7 days please consult a dermatologist in person May need proper evaluation.

Thank you

Your symptoms—severe generalized itching mainly at night, redness after scratching, dry cracked foreskin, itching and hardened cracked skin over the hydrocele area, and wet/raw skin—suggest a chronic skin condition rather than a simple allergy or fungal infection.

The lack of response to levocetirizine, antifungal soap (ketoconazole), and fluconazole indicates that this is unlikely to be just fungal (tinea). The pattern strongly points toward one or a combination of the following:

Chronic dermatitis / eczema (including genital eczema)

Scabies or mite infestation (classically causes intense night-time itching)

Contact dermatitis (reaction to soaps, detergents, sweat, tight clothing)

Secondary skin infection due to scratching

Lichenification (skin becoming thick, hard, cracked due to long-term itching)

Night-time itching severe enough to disturb sleep is not normal and needs proper dermatological evaluation.

Hello Suranjit I’m really sorry you’re going through this—persistent, severe itching with redness, cracked skin, and wetness, especially involving the penis and hydrocele area, can be very uncomfortable and frustrating. Since you’ve already tried antihistamines (levocetirizine), antifungal soap, and fluconazole without relief, it suggests this might not be a simple fungal infection or allergy.

Rx- ointment Clotrimazole cream+ Bnc cream - mix it well and apply over affected area Tab Flucanazole 300 mg - once a week Tab Montac lc - one at night

What you should do next: - See a dermatologist or skin specialist as soon as possible. You need a proper examination and possibly a skin scraping or swab to identify the exact cause. - Avoid scratching as much as possible, as it can worsen the cracks and wetness. - Keep the area clean and dry, but avoid harsh soaps or hot water. - Wear loose, cotton underwear to reduce irritation and moisture.

Thank you and get well soon
