The key to preventing scrotal eczema lies in maintaining local cleanliness and dryness, as well as improving lifestyle habits:
1. Maintain hygiene: Take a shower daily, especially cleaning the scrotal area, using a mild cleanser and avoiding harsh soaps or shower gels.
2. Control humidity: If the living environment is humid, use a dehumidifier to reduce indoor humidity, which helps prevent eczema.
3. Dietary adjustment: Maintain a balanced diet and avoid consuming foods that may cause allergies, such as spicy or greasy foods.
4. Personal habits: Quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, maintain good sleep, and enhance physical immunity, which helps reduce skin problems.
5. Keep personal items clean: Regularly wash underwear and towels to prevent mold growth.
If symptoms of scrotal eczema have already appeared, avoid scratching and seek medical attention promptly to prevent worsening of the condition.
