Patient's question:
For more than half a month, I have had scrotal itching with subcutaneous papules and small red bumps appearing, but without any discharge. Sometimes, I can't help but scratch with my hands, which has severely affected my work and life.Doctor's answer:
Hello, when scrotal eczema has an acute flare-up, the scrotal skin may become swollen, red, blistered, and crusty. If there is exudate, cold wet compresses with normal saline can be applied externally; if there is no exudate, calamine lotion can be used externally. After the skin lesions improve, Pristynol ointment or Hydrocortisone cream can be applied externally. It is important to keep the scrotum and underwear dry and comfortable. Under the guidance of a doctor, some topical corticosteroid anti-itch creams can be used externally. Do not scratch, and use some moisturizing cream appropriately. If the itching is severe, antihistamines can be taken.
