What should I do if the scrotal skin itches, becomes hard, and has red spots?

Patient's question:

2013 to present, itchy, itchy at the teacher's evening, did not seek medical attention

Doctor's answer:

Consider eczema. Scrotal eczema is the most common type of eczema, localized to the skin of the scrotum, sometimes extending to the perianal area, and in a few cases, it may spread to the penis. This condition causes severe itching, with polymorphic rashes, and is prone to recurrence. It can be treated, but to achieve a cure requires personal attention to hygiene, adherence to medication, and avoiding transmission to family members. Identify the cause, isolate allergens, avoid re-exposure, abstain from alcohol and easily allergenic, spicy, or irritating foods, avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress, pay attention to skin hygiene, avoid hot water baths, and do not use topical irritating anti-itch medications. Actively treat systemic diseases. Western medicine primarily focuses on anti-itch and anti-allergy, with options including antihistamines and calcium preparations. Traditional Chinese medicine primarily aims to clear heat, promote diuresis, dispel wind-heat, nourish blood, and moisturize dryness.
