Patient's question:
Often the scrotum feels damp and very uncomfortable. Some say it's caused by prostate problems. Is that right? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, both kidney deficiency and eczema can cause scrotal dampness. You can compare and see that eczema is mostly limited to the scrotal area, sometimes extending to the perineum and the skin around the anus, and it generally rarely affects the penis. It is usually divided into two types: weeping type and dry type. The skin of the weeping type scrotal eczema appears edematous and swollen, accompanied by erosion, exudation, crusting, and occasional fissures. The skin of the dry type scrotal eczema is infiltrated, thickened, rough and dry, with deep and wide wrinkles, hard skin, and increased pigmentation, which may be accompanied by skin atrophy or depigmented spots. It causes severe itching locally, especially during idle times and at night. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination to identify the cause before treatment.
