Patient's question:
I feel itchy and stinging in the scrotum, which is very uncomfortable. What kind of medicine should I use to treat it?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, it cannot be ruled out that the condition may be caused by tinea corporis (ringworm) transmission, eczema, or other possibilities. It is recommended that you do not self-medicate and should first visit a hospital for examination to confirm the diagnosis. After confirming your condition, follow the doctor's advice for medication. In daily life, pay attention to preventing fungal infections, such as:1. Not leaving long nails;
2. Washing underwear and pants separately, especially if family members have conditions like tinea pedis (athlete's foot), onychomycosis (toenail fungus), etc.;
3. Avoid overusing antibiotics;
4. Ensuring clothes are dried in sunlight or well-ventilated areas after washing.
If you have phimosis (reduced foreskin), it is advisable to undergo circumcision at an early stage to reduce infection factors, etc.
