Doctor's answer:
Considering it might be eczema, eczema can be cured. Take some levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets and apply some desonide cream. Keep the skin clean, avoid wearing too many clothes, as many cases of eczema are caused by wearing too many clothes. Avoid spicy, cold, and raw foods, and pay attention to keeping warm.Scrotal dampness doesn't necessarily indicate a disease, so if there are no other discomforts, focus on keeping the area clean and dry. Maintain a light diet, eat fewer cold foods, and reduce the intake of spicy, fishy, and pungent foods. However, scrotal dampness may be related to prostate diseases, so it's recommended to actively undergo a prostate examination to determine the specific condition and receive symptomatic treatment.
Scrotal dampness falls under the category of "damp-heat accumulation in the lower body" in traditional Chinese medicine.
