A member asked:

Stinging nettle applied topical for itching scrotum?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cause: You should check with your doctor. In your age group, it may be due to other causes that stinging nettle won't help (fungus "jock itch"). You need to treat the cause. Stinging nettle will only decrease the itching.
