Patient's question:
The external genital area is a bit moist, and there are two patches resembling ringworm on the testicles. Sometimes they can be very itchy... Using Pukangwang ointment helps, but after a while, the itching returns. It keeps coming and going, and it feels like it cannot be cured. What could be the cause? What kind of ointment can cure it? Thank you?Doctor's answer:
It may be a skin disease, which is caused by infections such as mold, and is called "tinea corporis." Tinea corporis can be treated with topical medications for skin diseases, and it is also important to pay attention to hygiene, change underwear and pants frequently, and take baths often. If the effect is not significant, go directly to the dermatology clinic of the hospital for a thorough examination. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If it is not treated in time, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
