Patient's question:
Recently, there are two itchy spots on my testicles. I have applied a lot of anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving creams, which can reduce swelling and pain, but they only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Based on the described situation, it is speculated that the itching of the scrotal skin may be caused by a fungal infection. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, clean and dry the area promptly every day, and apply clotrimazole ointment and dermatitis cream for treatment after cleaning. Socks and underwear should be washed separately. The testicles can recover, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to use medications appropriately during treatment. Additionally, it is advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a balanced diet during the treatment period.
