Patient's question:
I can confirm that I have balanitis, but many medications haven't worked for me. Especially, I can no longer use topical steroid creams. I don't want to take oral medication. Currently, I'm using Jinfukangling, but it only provides temporary relief and the condition still recurs. Hello, could any doctor have a better solution to help me?Medical History and Treatment Effects:
Topical steroid creams are currently not being used, but they don't address the root cause—only provide temporary relief.
Desired Help:
I hope to find a doctor who has a good solution.
Doctor's answer:
Scrotal eczema manifests as persistent dampness and slight itching in the scrotal area. According to the progression of the disease, it can be divided into three stages: acute, subacute, and chronic.During acute recurrence, symptoms are primarily redness and itching of the scrotal skin, with the presence of papules. Excessive scratching can lead to smooth, red skin.
In subacute recurrence, symptoms include severe itching, loss of appetite, loose stools, yellow urine, and sometimes mild blistering and erosion.
During chronic recurrence, itching occurs intermittently, and it may worsen under stress, after alcohol consumption, or when eating spicy foods.
When experiencing scrotal itching, active treatment is essential. Avoid excessive scratching and bathing with hot water, especially avoid washing with soapy water.
