What is the situation when the outer skin of the testicles itches?

Patient's question:

These days, I've been constantly feeling itchy on the outside of my testicles and have been habitually wanting to scratch them with my hands. But it's quite embarrassing to do so in public. I'd like to consult about what might be causing this condition. After taking a shower at night, the symptoms do ease up a bit, but they return the following third day.

Doctor's answer:

If itching reappears outside the testicles, carefully observe if there are small bumps. If so, it might be caused by eczema. You can use dandelion decoction for sitz baths, which can help clear heat and detoxify. During this period, avoid spicy and irritating foods. After medication, if symptoms don't improve or worsen, it's better to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the specific cause before treating accordingly.
