Patient's question:
I am 28 years old, male. My scrotum has developed some small bumps recently, which are very itchy. Later, I went to the dermatology department for a thorough examination and was told it was scrotal eczema. Please tell me what are the symptoms of scrotal dampness?Doctor's answer:
Scrotal dampness can be caused by various factors, such as prostatitis, urinary tract infections, eczema, certain sexually transmitted diseases, and wearing tight, non-breathable underwear, among others. Scrotal dampness is not a disease itself, so if there are no other discomforts, maintaining local cleanliness and dryness is sufficient. It is advisable to follow a light diet, avoid cold and raw foods, and reduce the intake of spicy and fishy foods. However, scrotal dampness is often related to prostate diseases. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination of the prostate to confirm the specific condition and receive symptomatic treatment. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain regular sleep schedules, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
