Patient's question:
This situation has not improved so far, and I am quite worried about my condition. What medication can be taken to treat scaly itching in the scrotum?Doctor's answer:
Since scrotal eczema, like eczema on other parts of the body, is related to allergies, the medications used to treat allergies can also be used to treat scrotal eczema. Commonly used antihistamines include cyproheptadine, chlorpheniramine maleate tablets, hydroxyzine, and loratadine tablets. External medications mainly involve corticosteroid creams, such as hydrocortisone cream, alclometasone cream, and hydrocortisone butyrate cream. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), treatment is primarily based on syndrome differentiation and regulation. TCM often classifies scrotal eczema into two types—damp-heat descending syndrome and yin deficiency with blood dryness—to treat accordingly.
