Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
Medications commonly used for male scrotal moisture include the following:
1. Physiological causes: Increased perspiration due to hot weather, wearing tight pants, etc. In such cases, improving lifestyle habits is sufficient, such as wearing cotton, breathable underwear and keeping the affected area dry and clean.
2. Common medications: Frequently used medications include Long Dan Xie Gan Wan, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, and Qian Lie Tong Pian, which help clear heat and dampness and improve localized damp-heat conditions of the scrotum.
3. Prostatitis: Scrotal moisture caused by conditions like prostatitis requires treatment targeting the underlying cause, such as antibiotics or Chinese patent medicines.
4. Fungal infection: Scrotal moisture can sometimes indicate a fungal infection. In such cases, antifungal medications are required, such as topical creams containing clotrimazole or terbinafine. However, these should be used only under the guidance of a physician to avoid self-diagnosis and self-medication.
5. Dermatological conditions: Conditions such as eczema or dermatitis may also cause scrotal moisture. Treatment should target the specific skin condition and may involve the use of corticosteroid creams or other specific medications.
