Patient's question:
At the bottom of my husband's scrotum near his left leg, there's a red sore that hurts. It looks like a small crack, and you can see the red flesh.What could have caused this? Years ago, it also flared up like this, but then it was a large area.
What kind of ointment should he apply?
Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it is likely that the discomfort is caused by external genital moisture and irritation. There may be a possibility of ulcers. It is best to rest actively, clean with a mild saline solution, and use Bactroban if necessary to alleviate the discomfort. However, it is advisable to avoid sexual activity in the short term to prevent cross-infection. As most people know, prostatitis can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues, and maintain a light diet, avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
