Patient's question:
Between the legs, the scrotum has been feeling a bit itchy recently. While taking a bath, I noticed some red spots appearing on it, similar to the symptoms of eczema, which also itches. What medicine should I take for scrotal eczema? I also had sex with my wife yesterday. Could it be transmitted to her?Doctor's answer:
Scrotal eczema often recurs in the lower part of males, caused by infectious damp heat, leading to inflammation in the scrotal area. Clinically, it is primarily characterized by chronic reproductive inflammation, such as scrotal dampness or recurring burning sensation. During clinical diagnosis and treatment, it is generally possible to combine traditional Chinese medicine formulations like Simiao Wan and Chaihu Songsi Tang, with modifications as needed. In daily life, local topical medications can also be used, such as dampness-reducing, swelling-reducing, and pain-relieving ointments or Qushi. Paying attention to local hygiene in daily life usually prevents infection.
