How to Treat and Improve Scrotal Eczema
My scrotum has been consistently moist these past few days, and I felt something was not normal. I later was diagnosed with scrotal eczema. May I ask, how can scrotal eczema be treated and improved?
Doctor's answer (1)
Scrotal eczema is usually a skin inflammatory reaction caused by multiple factors. The following are some common treatment methods:
1. Keep the area clean and dry: Maintain dryness in the scrotal region and avoid excessive sweating. Clean the area at least once daily and thoroughly dry off any moisture, especially in skin folds.
2. Antifungal creams: If the eczema is caused by fungi, over-the-counter antifungal creams such as clotrimazole or ketoconazole can be applied according to the instructions.
3. Corticosteroid creams: For significant inflammation, a doctor may prescribe corticosteroid creams such as hydrocortisone or prednisone to alleviate symptoms.
4. Dietary adjustments: Reduce consumption of potentially allergenic foods such as spicy dishes, seafood, and alcohol. Increase intake of fresh fruits and vegetables to help improve overall immune function.
If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
