Patient's question:
Over the past year, I've been feeling a heavy and bloated sensation in my lower abdomen, constantly tired, and my libido has decreased. The scrotum feels very damp, with many small bumps and intense itching. I've tried various methods to alleviate the symptoms, but none have worked. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with scrotal eczema.What kind of help I need: What is scrotal eczema, and why do people get it?
Doctor's answer:
Scrotal eczema is the most common type of eczema, limited to the skin of the scrotum. This condition causes severe itching, with polymorphic rashes, and is prone to recurrence. Improper stimulation may lead to pain or secondary infection, and it can manifest as acute, subacute, or chronic. Treatment involves identifying the underlying cause, avoiding allergens, preventing re-exposure, refraining from alcohol and easily allergenic, spicy, or irritating foods, avoiding excessive fatigue and mental stress, maintaining good skin hygiene, avoiding hot water baths, and not using external irritant anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications. It is also important to actively treat systemic diseases.
