Patient's question:
Male, 6 years old, always itchy and uncomfortable, the skin on the affected area is red with spots, sometimes it even breaks and oozes yellow fluid. After checking at the hospital, it was diagnosed as eczema. I want to ask, what should I do if a child gets scrotal eczema?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of scrotal eczema involves multiple aspects. Eczema is a chronic and recurrent skin disease. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment at a regular hospital. Fungal tests may be necessary to rule out fungal infections such as tinea cruris when needed. Use medications appropriately under the guidance of a doctor. Avoid consuming irritating foods such as garlic, ginger, onions, strong tea, coffee, alcohol, and other easily allergenic foods like fish and shrimp. Try using traditional Chinese medicine ointments.
