Patient's question:
Male, 23 years old, the affected area is always red and uncomfortable, itchy, and sometimes it even oozes fluid. After some examination, it turned out to be eczema. Question: What foods are good for scrotal eczema?Doctor's answer:
Patients with scrotal eczema can consume more cooling and moisture-dispelling foods such as red beans, coix seed, sweet potatoes, Chinese yam, lotus seeds, lotus leaves, and water chestnuts. They should eat less foods that are beneficial for eczema recovery, such as garlic, ginger, scallions, strong tea, coffee, alcohol, fish, fried foods, and spicy foods. Avoid scratching, soaking the affected area in hot water, or washing it with soap. Develop good living habits and change underwear frequently. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination at a reputable Grade-A hospital as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular sleep patterns, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
