Patient's question:
Recently, there has been itching on the inner thigh and around the testicles, and the itching gets worse the more I scratch. It's especially itchy at night. I've also noticed some red bumps lately. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
It is a manifestation of damp-heat accumulation, which induces localized environmental dampness and recurrent inflammatory attacks, leading to eczema on the skin. At this stage, it is important to maintain good hygiene in the affected area. Red bean and coix seed porridge can be used to reduce the damp-heat accumulation in the body. Additionally, applying a significant amount of eczema cream locally for treatment is necessary, while always ensuring good hygiene in the area.For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
