Patient's question:
Scrotal swelling and redness, initially starting with two small patches, with some small red spots on the scrotum. Now they have become two large patches, two on each side. It doesn't itch when not scratched, but it becomes very itchy when scratched. It has been 4 days since the symptoms were first noticed. How did the scrotal redness and swelling start with a small patch?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is considered that poor hygiene and fungal infections can lead to conditions such as dermatitis, rashes, and scrotal eczema. It is recommended to apply mupirocin ointment to the affected area, while also soaking with potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. This can help fade and recover completely. It is advisable to take medication on schedule and maintain cleanliness in the genital area. Change underwear and socks frequently to prevent recurring infections. Scrotal redness and swelling are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
