Patient's question:
Doctor, what ointment should I use for scrotal eczema? My scrotal eczema has been going on for almost a year, and it keeps coming back without ever getting better. I used to use steroid cream in the recent past. At night before bed, it itches badly. Now I'm using plant-based Anzhuo Cream, and it feels a bit better. It doesn't look very severe now. Do I need to use other medication?Doctor's answer:
Scrotal dampness is mostly caused by local hygiene issues leading to local inflammatory irritation. It is recommended to pay close attention and observe carefully. Pay more attention to personal hygiene, use warm water to wash the genital area and underwear daily, and ensure thorough hot water sterilization. Change frequently and expose them to sunlight. Underwear should be loose, comfortable, and made of pure cotton. Pay close attention and observe carefully. Generally, it is also possible to use povidone-iodine solution for wiping.
