What are the treatment methods for scrotal eczema?

Scrotal eczema is mainly characterized by symptoms such as redness, itching, and moisture of the scrotal skin. The treatment methods for scrotal eczema mainly include the following aspects:

1. Keep the area dry and clean: Patients should maintain cleanliness and dryness of the scrotal area, washing daily with warm water. Avoid using irritating soaps or cleansers. After washing, gently pat dry without excessive friction or squeezing.

2. Medication: In the early stages, topical corticosteroid creams, such as hydrocortisone cream, can be used to reduce inflammation and itching. If a fungal infection is present, antifungal creams should be used. If symptoms are severe or topical treatments are ineffective, doctors may prescribe oral antihistamines or antibiotics.

3. Dietary regulation: Avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods, such as chili peppers and alcohol, as they may worsen symptoms. Increasing intake of fresh vegetables and fruits can help clear heat and toxins and regulate bodily functions.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): According to TCM, scrotal eczema is often associated with damp-heat. Treatment may involve internal or external use of Chinese herbs that clear heat and toxins, remove dampness, and relieve itching.

Medication should be used under the guidance of a qualified physician. If discomfort persists, prompt medical attention is recommended.
