Patient's question:
The area around the base of the thigh and the scrotum on both sides is often itchy very severely. In the past, it would only happen in the summer, but recently it has been occurring continuously for this period. When it itches, I apply some Dianping ointment, but it hasn't improved yet. Moreover, the skin feels thicker and rougher, and even the small bumps that appear when scratching are not very noticeable. What could be the reason for this? Thank you.First follow-up question: The itchy area has clearly defined white patches with no scales.
Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, there is severe itching in the scrotum and both groin areas, and the itching intensifies the more you scratch. Based on your condition, it is likely a fungal skin infection. You can first go to the hospital for a fungal test to confirm the diagnosis. You can use bifonazole cream and ketoconazole. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Get enough sleep and maintain regular bowel movements. This may help improve your symptoms.
