Patient's question:
My two beads under the root of my penis sometimes itch. Why is this? What disease do I have? What medicine can treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the symptoms you described, eczema or tinea cruris is more likely. Eczema is commonly distributed, and the rash can take various forms, such as erythema, papules, vesicles, erosion, exudation, and crusts. It is often accompanied by severe itching, and scratching can lead to infection. The course of the disease is approximately 2-3 weeks, but it is prone to becoming chronic and recurring.The symptoms of tinea cruris start with a few papules, which gradually increase in number and spread in a ring-like pattern. The edges of the lesions are raised, and the patient experiences intense itching. The condition worsens due to scratching, and the ring-shaped lesions gradually enlarge, the local skin darkens in color, the skin thickens, and scales or crusts form.
First, it is important to avoid various external stimuli to the penis, such as hot water bathing or violent scratching. Clothing should be soft, and the diet should be light. Underwear should not be made of non-absorbent, non-breathable nylon. Pay attention to personal hygiene, get plenty of rest, and drink more water. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and a regulated diet.
It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive targeted treatment after a clear diagnosis.
