Patient's question:
The inner sides of my thighs and scrotum often itch intensely. Previously, this would only happen in the summer, but recently it has been occurring continuously for some time. When the itching occurs, I apply some Dianping ointment, but it hasn't improved yet. Additionally, the skin feels thicker and rougher, and even the small bumps that appear when scratching are not very noticeable. What could be the reason for this? Thank you.First follow-up question: The itchy area has clearly defined white patches with no scales.
Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, there is severe itching in the scrotum and both groin areas, and the itching worsens the more you scratch. Based on your condition, it is likely a fungal skin infection. You can first go to the hospital for a fungal test to confirm the diagnosis. You can use bifonazole cream and ketoconazole. It is recommended that you avoid spicy and irritating foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, get enough sleep, and maintain regular bowel movements. This may help improve your symptoms.
