What should I do if I have a long-lasting case of scrotal eczema and anal itching?

Patient's question:

In 2014, for scrotal and anal itching, traditional Chinese medicine washes and Western medicine ointments were used externally.

Doctor's answer:

If diagnosed with balanitis and perianal eczema at a local hospital's dermatology department, as this condition is an allergic reaction caused by multiple factors, the first recommendation is to avoid tight underwear and wear 100% cotton underwear with strong water absorption. Keep the affected area dry and clean. Wash underwear thoroughly and avoid using alkaline soaps. In terms of diet, it's advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, seafood, shrimp, hot pots, etc. For treatment, oral antihistamines such as Cetirizine tablets or Claritin tablets, compound B vitamins, and compound Huangbai wash solution are recommended. External use of Eczema Ointment (Yuzhuo'er) can also be applied. If the skin is dry, a moisturizing lotion can be used in conjunction. The above suggestions are for reference only. You can also visit a local regular hospital's dermatology department for consultation and choose medication after confirmation.
