Patient's question:
Intermittently for several months, it itches and peels. When scratched, it becomes red and feels like the testicles have grown. Walking may cause friction, and it often doesn't itch but still feels uncomfortable. I want to ask what I should do?Doctor's answer:
Your consideration is for mold infection. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking. Apply ketoconazole cream to the scrotum, use povidone-iodine for sterilization daily, change underwear frequently, and always keep the groin area clean and dry. It generally takes about ten days. The condition of the testicles is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
