What Causes Itching Around Penis?

Four weeks ago I got itching around my penis. My doctor described Canisten without examination of my penis. After a week the itching was still prevalent, so I went to the original doctor's partner. He examined me and just said to use moisturiser. I decided to get a second opinion and the third doctor said my penis was a bit red and prescribed dermovate and to come in for a few blood tests next week: general blood test, prostrate blood test. I only started the dermovate today, how long before it starts working. I am getting a bit worried about this on going problem.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: Please do not change doctor, visit the same doctor if you do not get relief

Explanation: Itching in groin area may be because of fungal infection. As you are not getting relief from that, please visit your doctor saying it has not subsided.
He may examine you now and give treatment according to it. Hope you understood.
