Dr. Liu Wenmin
Medications for scrotal eczema include the following:
1. Antihistamines: Such as Loratadine tablets, Cetirizine Hydrochloride tablets, etc. These medications have anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects, helping to relieve itching and discomfort caused by scrotal eczema.
2. Antibiotics: If scrotal eczema is accompanied by bacterial infection, antibiotic medications should be used for treatment, such as Erythromycin ointment, Mupirocin ointment, etc., to prevent further worsening of the infection.
3. Glucocorticoids: Patients with widespread or severe rashes may be treated with glucocorticoid medications, such as Hydrocortisone Butyrate cream, Mometasone Furoate cream, etc. These medications have strong anti-inflammatory effects, but potential side effects should be considered with long-term use.
4. Lifestyle adjustments: Keep the affected area clean and dry, avoid friction from tight clothing, reduce intake of spicy foods, and enhance immune function.
If you have any concerns, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
