Hi XXXX
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Candid is an antifungal topical preparation and will be effective if the problem is due to fungal infection and that also after prolonged application.
In reality scrotal itch can be due to bacterial, fungal or viral cause.
Sometimes scabies or other skin diseases may also manifest like this.
In essence the scrotum and local area must be examined by a local physician for a proper diagnosis then the treatment can be decided.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
