Itching, swelling, and a bad odor on the scrotum - how to treat it

Patient's question:

Patient Gender: Male
Scrotal surface itching, swelling, and a small blister inside the foreskin. Additionally, there is a foul odor.

Doctor's answer:

Medication can be effective to some extent, such as taking oral antihistamines under the guidance of a doctor, or applying topical medium- and low-potency corticosteroid creams. While corticosteroid creams are effective in treating the condition, it is not advisable to use them for prolonged periods or in excessive amounts. Additionally, under the guidance of a doctor, some traditional Chinese medicine therapies and physical therapies may also yield certain results. As everyone knows, scrotal eczema can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding irritating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Moreover, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
