Patient's question:
How to treat scrotal eczema? Where can I go for treatment? Are there any hospitals in Xuzhou that can treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is currently no specific treatment for eczema, and symptomatic treatment is commonly used.Recommendations:
Oral antihistamines are often prescribed, such as diphenhydramine, promethazine, chlorpheniramine, and cyproheptadine. These can be used alone or in combination, and may also be taken with sedatives, vitamin C, and other medications.
Topical medications are selected based on clinical skin manifestations. For example:
- If there is significant redness, swelling, and excessive exudation, solutions or cold wet dressings should be used.
- For erythema and papules, lotions, creams, ointments, and oils may be applied.
- For blisters and erosion, oils are recommended.
- For scales and crusts, creams are suitable.
- For lichenification, ointments, creams, lotions, film preparations, tinctures, and hard ointments may be used.
It is important to identify and eliminate the underlying cause of the condition. Adjust your diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and avoid allergenic items such as alcohol and seafood (shellfish should be avoided). A bland diet is recommended. Minimize exposure to external irritants, such as scratching, using soaps, or washing with hot water. Wear loose, soft clothing and avoid wool or nylon fabrics. Try using Eczema Zinc.
