Patient's question:
There are some red rashes on the scrotum. After a careful examination, it was found to be scrotal eczema. What kind of medicine can be used to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Eczema of the scrotum can be treated with antihistamines, boric acid solution, calamine lotion, and other medications. Generally, oral antihistamines such as levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets and compound glycyrrhizin tablets can be taken. Topical medications should be chosen based on the condition of the scrotal skin lesions. If there is local exudation, a 3% boric acid solution can be used for cold compresses. If there are papules or blisters, calamine lotion can be applied externally. If there is scaling or skin thickening, mometasone furoate cream can be used externally. It is important to keep the area dry, avoid scratching with your hands, and refrain from eating fish, shrimp, seafood, and spicy foods.
