Patient's question:
I don't know if it's affected by the weather, but recently my groin area has been uncomfortable. Not only has the skin become red and swollen, but it's also itchy. Washing it doesn't help at all. I don't know what's going on? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In summer, the temperature is high, and the human body sweats heavily. The external genital organs of men are often in a moist state for a long time, which can easily lead to infections over time. The patient may experience redness of the scrotal skin accompanied by itching, which is likely caused by scrotal eczema. Scrotal eczema is a common condition among men in summer. Due to excessive sweating in the summer, if men do not wipe away sweat promptly, the skin may become soaked with sweat, or if they habitually wear tight or synthetic underwear, frequent friction between the legs while walking can trigger eczema. It is recommended that patients not use medication blindly and, while paying attention to hygiene, seek a detailed medical examination at the hospital as soon as possible.
