Is it serious if the area near the testicles is itchy and scratched?

Patient's question:

Itchy near the testicles, scratched it myself, this tightness? Itchy every winter, is it serious?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the picture you sent, the condition appears to be a localized fungal infection. It is recommended that you clean the area with clean water and apply Prasugard ointment for treatment. Avoid scratching, and for areas that have already been scratched, use povidone-iodine for sterilization to prevent the spread of infection. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use the medication appropriately. Additionally, the patient should avoid sitting or riding for extended periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
