Patient's question:
I have white small bumps on my scrotum, and they also appear on the base of my penis. It has been about ten years. At the beginning, it was extremely itchy, and my scrotum was damp. It relieved when the weather was hot. For about a year, it wasn't itchy anymore, but the white bumps still remained. The dampness and heat at night made it hard to sleep, and I felt restless. It is not contagious. Recently, I feel it has worsened. The lymph nodes in both sides of my groin are hot, painful, and slightly swollen. I am afraid the condition will worsen. A thorough examination at the hospital confirmed it as scrotal eczema.What kind of help do I need: What are the general causes of scrotal eczema?
Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of scrotal eczema, common ones include local infections, allergies, and other factors. Prostatitis and kidney deficiency can also lead to it. The treatment of scrotal eczema requires a comprehensive approach. Generally, local applications of calamine lotion, ointment with erythromycin, and oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and promoting diuresis are used for symptomatic treatment. It is recommended that patients maintain a balanced nutritional intake in daily life, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and keep a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
