Patient's question:
Often the scrotum feels damp and very uncomfortable. Some say it's caused by prostate problems. Is that right? How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, both kidney deficiency and eczema can cause dampness in the scrotum. You can compare and see that eczema is mostly limited to the scrotal area, sometimes extending to the perineum and the skin around the anus. It generally rarely affects the penis. There are usually two types: exudative and dry.The exudative type of scrotal eczema presents with edematous swelling of the skin, accompanied by erosion, exudation, crusting, and occasional fissures. The dry type of scrotal eczema involves infiltrated, thickened, rough, dry skin with deep and wide wrinkles, hardening of the skin, and increased pigmentation. It may also be accompanied by skin atrophy or depigmented patches.
The local itching is extremely unbearable, especially during idle times and at night. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for examination to identify the cause before starting treatment.
