Does scrotal eczema affect the penis and foreskin?

Patient's question:

Recently, I have been experiencing intense itching on both sides of my scrotum and at the base of my penis, along with dampness in the scrotum. It feels very sticky when walking, and the itching is extremely severe. Additionally, there are skin lesions on my penis, and the foreskin is red and swollen. Will scrotal eczema affect the penis and foreskin?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, scrotal eczema rarely spreads to the penis, so this may not be eczema. It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out the possibility of inflammation and sexually transmitted diseases. Patients facing urological conditions should follow the principle of symptomatic treatment promptly and avoid hesitation in seeking medical attention. If the urological condition does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
