Patient's question:
It's so painful to have balanitis and I have a 28-year history of balanitis. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Scrotal eczema is a stubborn and difficult-to-treat condition, so its prevention is essential. Prevention should include the following points.(1) Underwear should be loose and comfortable, preferably made of pure cotton, and avoid wearing tight underwear. Change and wash underwear promptly, especially after exercise, to ensure timely cleaning and laundering.
(2) In terms of diet, consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid or limit foods that are greasy or spicy.
(3) If there is scrotal itching, seek active treatment and avoid excessive scratching or washing with hot water. In particular, avoid washing with soapy water.
