Needs re-eval.: Regardless of your young age, any skin spot in a sun-exposed area needs a definitive diagnosis. You should be evaluated at this point by a dermatologist. I’d think that with the appropriate antibiotic an infection would have resolved more completely.

I have had a red itchy scrotum for about 6 months. Doctor said it was a yeast infection. But it wasn't. Derm doesn't know what it is. Tried steroid cream but that made it worse. Still unsure.
