Patient's question:
Recently, during sleep, I have frequently noticed dampness in the groin area, under the armpits, and under the scrotum. Sometimes it is accompanied by lower back pain, discomfort, and soreness.What could be the cause of this? Is it related to kidney problems, or is there another reason?
Doctor's answer:
Eczema is caused by allergies. It is recommended to take oral antihistamines such as Chlorpheniramine and use topical corticosteroid creams like Urso. However, corticosteroids should not be used for long periods. In daily life, it is best to avoid external irritants and local irritation, avoid scratching, do not rub vigorously, and do not use hot water or soapy water to wash. Avoid alcohol, strong tea, and coffee. Do not eat acidic, spicy dishes, or other irritating foods. I believe everyone knows that scrotal eczema causes significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to dietary issues in daily life and avoid consuming irritating foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
