Patient's question:
A week ago, I noticed that the scrotum was completely swollen and red, with some peeling, and had a clear boundary line with the black skin of the scrotal edge. It was painful and itchy but had a persistent burning sensation, indicating inflammation. Additionally, there were a few rings of redness and swelling near the foreskin layer close to the glans, which had not subsided. The penis also appeared to have some peeling of the skin.Doctor's answer:
This condition is caused by inflammation and infection, and it is also related to allergies. The best approach is to seek timely treatment and closely monitor the situation. Initial diagnosis suggests testicular eczema. If the symptoms recur severely, applying calamine lotion for treatment and observation can help prevent worsening. Avoiding seafood can contribute to stabilization. If symptoms do not improve, further observation at the hospital is recommended. Scrotal redness and swelling can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, proper medication, a light diet, avoiding foods, and not smoking or drinking beer are essential. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
