What should I do if the itch on the scrotal skin has been scratched off?

Patient's question:

After the weather got cooler, my scrotum became inexplicably damp and unbearable, with a bad odor. Both my glans and testicles are red. The skin of my testicles is so itchy that I've scratched it off. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, in this case, the symptoms are generally considered to be caused by inflammation of the perineum. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene in the perineal area, avoid wearing leather pants as underwear, and use skin disinfectant povidone-iodine for sterilization. You can also use potassium permanganate solution for washing. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. For patients with urological diseases, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it will affect your health condition. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
