Patient's question:
Medical Description: Before going to bed at night, there is itching in the groin, scrotum, perineum, and anus, and occasionally other parts of the body also have allergic reactions. Past Treatment and Effect: Medication only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, failing to completely solve the problem. Desired Help: What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is important to pay attention to the possibility of scrotal eczema. Scrotal eczema is the most common skin disease of the scrotum and is classified as an allergic reaction. It is also a common sexual organ skin disease in men, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease. The causes of scrotal eczema are complex, involving both internal and external factors. People with an allergic constitution, those who are under long-term mental stress or experience significant emotional fluctuations, are prone to this condition. Additionally, individuals with certain diseases, such as chronic digestive system disorders, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine disorders, or metabolic disorders, are also more susceptible to this condition under the influence of external factors.It is recommended that you pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia, avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, avoid scratching the skin, avoid washing with hot water or soapy water, ensure adequate rest, and maintain a relaxed mood.
