Patient's question:
I am 28 years old, male. My scrotum has developed some small bumps recently, and it's very itchy. Later, I went to the dermatology department for a thorough examination and was told it was scrotal eczema. Could you please tell me what scrotal dampness is?Doctor's answer:
Scrotal dampness refers to a condition where there are no underlying organic diseases in the scrotum, but it feels sweaty to the touch. There are two possible causes for recurring scrotal dampness: one is disease-related, such as prostatitis or varicocele. The other is physiological factors, such as prolonged sitting or wearing non-breathable pants. Patients should develop healthy daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to boost their immunity and prevent the condition from recurring.
