Patient's question:
I have developed eczema around my scrotum, which is dark red in color. The size of the eczema is similar to a pimple. It is somewhat itchy, but usually not painful. However, it causes a stinging sensation every time I urinate, and sometimes accidental contact also triggers the same stinging sensation. You mentioned that the eczema on your scrotum is itchy. Could you please help me understand what might be causing this?Doctor's answer:
Eczema of the scrotum is essentially still an allergic reaction. If local hygiene and cleanliness are not properly maintained, excessive secretions, or excessive local moisture can all potentially cause scrotal eczema. It is advisable to try to keep the area as dry as possible and use some ointments with soothing anti-allergic effects, such as calamine lotion or trimethicone cream. Additionally, it is necessary to adjust the individual's dietary structure and avoid consuming greasy or spicy foods.
