Patient's question:
Scrotal ulcers.Doctor's answer:
Scrotal eczema is the most common type of eczema, limited to the scrotal skin, sometimes extending to the perianal area, and in a few cases, it may spread to the penis. This condition is characterized by severe itching, polymorphic rashes, and is prone to recurrence. It can be treated, but to achieve a cure, personal hygiene, adherence to medication, and preventing transmission to family members are necessary. Identify the cause, isolate allergens, avoid re-exposure, abstain from alcohol and easily allergenic, spicy, or irritating foods, avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress, pay attention to skin hygiene, avoid hot water bathing, and do not use external irritant anti-itch medications. Actively treat systemic diseases. Western medicine primarily focuses on anti-itch and anti-allergy, with antihistamines and calcium preparations being options. Traditional Chinese medicine primarily aims to clear heat, promote diuresis, dispel wind-heat, nourish blood, and moisturize dryness.
