Scrotal itching and peeling skin may be caused by various factors, such as dry skin, scrotal eczema, or balanitis. For this condition, the following measures can be taken:
1. Daily care: Keep the scrotal area clean and dry, change underwear regularly, avoid wearing tight pants, and reduce friction and irritation.
2. Topical medications: As recommended by a physician, topical treatments such as calamine lotion or mometasone furoate cream may be applied to relieve itching and peeling.
3. Oral medications: If symptoms are caused by allergies, oral antihistamines such as levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets or loratadine tablets may be taken as part of the treatment.
4. Avoid irritants: During treatment, avoid using irritating cleansers and skincare products to prevent worsening of symptoms.
