Dr. Luo Yong
Mupirocin ointment is generally suitable for treating scrotal pruritus. Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic that exerts anti-infective and antibacterial effects. If scrotal pruritus results from prolonged neglect of local hygiene, folliculitis, or eczema, mupirocin may be applied topically under a physician’s guidance to help control the condition and alleviate itching. During treatment, maintain good local hygiene and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods.
