A member asked:

Can antibiotics give rash on scrotum?

Dr. Keith Ramsey answered

Specializes in Pediatrics - Adolescent Medicine

Yes: You can get yeast or tinea (jock itch) from taking oral antibiotics. Try using Clotrimazole cream three times a day for 14 days. If that doesn't work, then have it checked.
