Patient's question:
Scrotal redness and swelling. Itching. It's very painful when it itches and I keep wanting to scratch. I don't know what caused it, and erythromycin ointment didn't work. What medicine should I use?Doctor's answer:
The condition you mentioned is scrotal eczema, which requires attention to rest. It is important to enhance anti-inflammatory treatment. Be careful not to drink beer or eat stimulating, spicy foods. Regular exercise and warm water (sitting baths) should be practiced. Scrotal redness and swelling can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid (irritating) foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
