Patient's question:
At the age of 13, the skin in the affected area reappeared, resembling a shell, peeling off in pieces. Later, it gradually turned dark red and thickened. Now, small red spots often appear on both sides of the thighs, which can break on their own, accompanied by itching and pain. Medication provides temporary relief, but the condition improves and worsens intermittently. The body fluid has a foul odor, and the skin on the thighs and scrotum has very dark pigmentation.Doctor's answer:
First, build confidence and eliminate pessimistic emotions for scrotal eczema. Additionally, avoid the habits of scratching and applying hot water. Wear loose underwear made of 100% cotton. Avoid foods high in animal protein such as fish and shrimp, as well as spicy foods, alcohol, strong tea, and coffee. For the treatment of scrotal eczema, antihistamines are used. Take 4 mg of diphenhydramine orally three times a day. For those with severe itching at night, an additional 25 mg of hydroxyzine can be taken before bed.
