Patient's question:
I have had eczema for three years. At first, it was small areas of red rash, and I didn't pay attention, just scratched when it itched. What medicine should be used for scrotal eczema?Doctor's answer:
Scrotal eczema is a common type of eczema, sometimes extending to the perianal area, and in very rare cases, it may spread to the penis. Local ointments can be applied, with Beikang Magnesium ointment being commonly used, while corticosteroid creams are used sparingly. It is absolutely essential not to scratch, rub,, or wash with hot water, soap, saltwater, or alkaline water. Items such as iodine, antifungal solutions, and garlic, which are irritating, should not be used externally. Maintain physical and mental well-being, keep personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
