Patient's question:
I would like to consult about some home remedies for treating scrotal eczema. I have recently developed eczema, with some red bumps. I have taken some anti-inflammatory medications and applied some creams, but they haven't been very effective. So, I am consulting a doctor to see if there are any better home remedies. Please recommend some.Doctor's answer:
Eczema of the scrotum generally does not respond well to home remedies. Scrotal eczema is primarily caused by prolonged dampness in the scrotal area or recurrent inflammation in the area, leading to the development of scrotal eczema. The treatment for scrotal eczema mainly involves applying topical anti-allergic creams or traditional Chinese medicine creams to the affected area. During treatment, avoid using topical corticosteroid creams to prevent the scrotum from becoming keratinized, which can cause the skin to thicken. On the face, you can apply traditional Chinese medicine creams like Bencao Gangmu or eczema ointment for local treatment.
