Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Treatment methods for scrotal eczema include the following:
1. Keep the affected area dry: It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the affected area. Avoid excessive washing and the use of harsh soaps or detergents.
2. Improve lifestyle habits: Avoid wearing tight clothing. It is recommended to choose loose-fitting, cotton underwear. Maintain good personal hygiene by showering regularly and changing clothes frequently. Avoid using irritating shower gels or soaps.
3. Dietary adjustments: Avoid consuming foods that may trigger allergies, such as seafood, eggs, and peanuts, to reduce the likelihood of worsening symptoms.
4. Medication: Topical corticosteroid creams, such as hydrocortisone cream, can be used to help reduce inflammation and itching. For eczema caused by fungal infection, antifungal medications such as clotrimazole cream should be used. Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician to avoid side effects associated with long-term or high-dose corticosteroid use.
