Patient's question:
I recently experienced another episode of redness in my genital area, along with small papules. There is also yellowish discharge. After examination, it was diagnosed as scrotal eczema. Can this condition be cured? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Scrotal eczema is not an incurable condition; it is related to factors such as constitution, emotions, and the environment of the scrotum. The causes of scrotal eczema may be related to the patient's inherent tendency to allergies, stress, emotional fluctuations, and also to the hygiene of underwear and the perineal area. For scrotal eczema, applying some anti-allergic medications locally, such as antihistamines and mild corticosteroid creams, can help alleviate the rash. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid tight underwear. Additionally, in terms of diet, avoid spicy foods and beer, and maintain a regular lifestyle.
