The characteristic symptoms of scrotal eczema include papules and papulovesicles on the scrotum, often accompanied by marked local exudation. Patients experience intense pruritus, leading to repeated scratching and resulting in prominent excoriations on the skin. In the chronic phase of scrotal eczema, the affected skin becomes markedly thickened, dry, and may even exhibit scaling.
