Patient's question:
Male, 30 years old, always itchy and uncomfortable. The skin on the affected area is red with spots, and sometimes it even breaks and oozes yellow fluid. After checking at the hospital, it was diagnosed as eczema. I want to ask, how should scrotal eczema be treated?Doctor's answer:
This condition is related to emotions, and maintaining a calm mood, adequate rest, and unwavering confidence in overcoming the disease are also key factors. In terms of diet, it is important to avoid spicy and irritating foods such as garlic, ginger, and onions.For medication, during the acute phase, cold compresses should be the foundation. Use clean water for each application, without adding any medication, or add alum. Alternatively, use a solution of berberine or decoctions of pu gong ying (dandelion) and wild chrysanthemum, allowed to cool before applying as a wet compress. If there is a risk of infection, add povidone-iodine or potassium permanganate dissolved in water. These methods are very effective for treating the intense itching and discharge of the scrotum.
