Patient's question:
At the age of 13, the affected skin 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 fluctuates. The discharge has an odor, and the skin of the thighs and scrotum has very deep 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 such as fish, shrimp, and other animal proteins, 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.
