Patient's question:
At the base of the thigh and testicles, there are patches of redness. At night, the area around the testicles itches. This has been happening for two years, and it starts to itch as soon as winter comes. Scratching makes it raw. The area on the thigh was just discovered this year. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
The area around the thighs and testicles is covered in red patches, and it becomes itchy at night. The itching in the testicular area has been present for two years, starting in the winter. Scratching leads to sores. This is mostly a manifestation of eczema-like dermatitis. You can apply calamine lotion or Piko Wang externally, and use traditional Chinese medicine for soaking and washing to reduce the effectiveness. Avoid fish, shrimp, spicy foods, and alcohol. The testicles can recover, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used appropriately based on symptoms. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet.
