Patient's question:
My inner thigh, specifically the skin on both sides of the testicles, has turned red-purple and is somewhat itchy. There are no protrusions on the skin surface, and this condition has persisted for over a year. Over a year ago, it started to reappear after prolonged intense exercise. Additionally, my training involves sitting frequently, and I have developed many sores on my buttocks. Are these sores caused by sitting?Doctor's answer:
Because you are a long-term seat, the sores on your buttocks are what is known as perineal acne. Due to long-term sitting, poor ventilation on both sides of the groin is likely to lead to eczema, causing the scrotal skin to turn purplish-red. Therefore, treatment primarily involves sitting for a while and then quickly moving around, changing your clothes and underwear frequently, and always keeping the area clean and dry. For medication, you can take cetirizine tablets orally and apply calamine lotion externally.
