Patient's question:
A few days ago, the area around my testicles on both thighs was itchy and painful. I applied several types of creams, and now it's better, with no more itching. I wonder if it was due to the creams I used. The past two days, there are some red spots near the head of my penis, but they don't hurt or itch if I don't scratch them. Down there, there are a few red spots with slight itching. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The situation described considers the possibility of skin eczema, which can be resolved by locally applying povidone-iodine for sterilization, followed by applying calamine lotion or Hydrocortisone cream. During this period, personal hygiene should be paid attention to, wear loose and comfortable cotton underwear, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy, fishy, and irritating foods. The condition of the testicles is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and regular hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet should be maintained, and sexual activity should be avoided.
