Patient's question:
Recently, there has been a thick, yellow discharge, and it's also itchy abnormally. How should the itching of the external genitalia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Itching of the male external genitalia is often caused by eczema. Scrotal eczema is the most common skin disease of the scrotum, an allergic reaction disorder. It is necessary to avoid spicy foods and maintain local dryness and cleanliness. Apply Efuqing ointment locally to reduce inflammation and relieve itching. For severe itching, take diphenhydramine and vitamin C. Topical medications mainly include corticosteroid creams such as Desonide cream, Furel cream, and hydrocortisone butyrate cream. There are many treatment methods for external genital itching, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
