The solutions for scrotal moisture mainly include the following points: 1. Maintain personal hygiene: Wash the scrotal area daily with warm water and a mild cleanser to keep the region clean and dry. Avoid using alkaline soaps or saline solutions for cleaning, as they may irritate the skin. 2. Improve the environment: Avoid staying in hot and humid environments for prolonged periods. Try to minimize wearing wet clothes or swimwear, and change damp underwear and clothing promptly. 3. Dietary regulation: Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and minerals. Avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers and garlic, which may exacerbate symptoms. 4. Medication treatment: If scrotal moisture is caused by conditions such as bacterial infection, scrotal eczema, or prostatitis, appropriate medications should be used under a doctor's guidance.
