Patient's question:
Looking at the small, fish-egg-like bumps around and on the penis, accompanied by symptoms of damp scrotum, which have been persistent. Even changing underwear daily hasn't helped, and now bumps have started to appear. If you suspect it's scrotal eczema, what should you do?Doctor's answer:
Scrotal eczema is often caused by excessive sweating in the perineal area or by sweat leading to a severe secondary infection of the skin and mucous membranes, which can result in scrotal dampness and changes such as papules appearing on the scrotal skin. It is recommended to visit the dermatology department or urology department of a local hospital for a definitive diagnosis. After diagnosis, topical medications can be used for treatment, such as anti-dampness, anti-swelling, and pain-relieving ointments, applied locally. Oral medications like Longdan Xiegan Wan may also be prescribed. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding specific medication usage.
