Patient's question:
Over the past year, I've been feeling dizzy, weak all over, severe lower back pain, a heavy and bloated sensation in the lower abdomen, accompanied by frequent and urgent urination. Every time I urinate, it causes a stinging pain. My scrotum is always damp, and there are some bumps on it, which are red, swollen, and itchy. I constantly scratch them. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the diagnosis was scrotal eczema.What kind of help is needed: How can scrotal eczema be treated to get better?
Doctor's answer:
Scrotal eczema is the most common type of eczema, limited to the skin of the scrotum, sometimes extending to the perianal area, and rarely to the penis. Avoid alcohol and easily allergenic, spicy, and irritating foods. Prevent excessive fatigue and mental stress, pay attention to skin hygiene, do not use hot water to wash the skin, and do not apply external irritating anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. Actively treat systemic diseases. Western medicine is based on anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-allergic treatment, and can use antihistamines and calcium preparations. Traditional Chinese medicine is based on clearing heat, promoting diuresis, dispelling wind-heat, nourishing blood, and moisturizing dryness.
