Scrotal eczema is a type of allergic disease, which due to its unique location of onset, requires special attention in the selection of topical medications while undergoing anti-allergic treatment. In terms of diet, it is necessary to avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more water, and consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. Oral administration of levocetirizine tablets and moisturizing anti-itch capsules, total paeony glycoside capsules, and other medications are used. On top of basic skin care, non-steroidal medications such as pimecrolimus cream and compound heparin sodium cream should be applied to the affected areas. Avoid excessive scratching and washing with hot water, and wear loose cotton underwear. Eczema is a polygenic-related hypersensitivity disease with complex triggers and symptoms that tend to recur. It is not easy to cure completely, requiring comprehensive management and patience. Treatment should not be rushed and must be conducted under medical guidance.

The difference between scrotal eczema and jock itch

Scrotal eczema and tinea cruris are two completely different skin diseases. Tinea cruris is caused by fungal infection in areas such as the groin and inner thigh, while scrotal eczema is caused by a variety of internal and external factors, with a complex etiology that may be related to hypersensitive reactions. In terms of treatment, tinea cruris is primarily treated with antifungal medications, whereas scrotal eczema is treated with astringent and moisturizing medications applied topically, in conjunction with oral antihistamines or anti-allergy medications.

Is a damp scrotum eczema?

Scrotal dampness is merely a symptom, and besides scrotal eczema, causes of scrotal dampness include inflammation of the scrotal skin, prostatitis, and varicocele, all of which can lead to dampness in the scrotum. Therefore, if scrotal dampness occurs, it is advisable to visit the urology department of a hospital for a detailed examination promptly. If the scrotal dampness is caused by prostatitis, further culture and drug sensitivity tests of prostate fluid are needed, followed by treatment with an appropriate sensitive antibiotic based on the test results. If scrotal dampness is due to varicocele, surgical treatment is recommended. These two diseases cause an increase in the temperature of the perineal area, leading to scrotal dampness. If scrotal dampness is caused by scrotal eczema, it is recommended to apply Liugan Stone Washing Agent topically and use corticosteroid medications for treatment.

Can scrotal eczema heal on its own?

Scrotal eczema is a type of eczema that is caused by allergies. This condition generally does not heal on its own without treatment; rather, it may progressively worsen, becoming increasingly itchy. Repeated scratching can potentially lead to the scrotum rupturing, exuding, or becoming infected. It is essential to treat scrotal eczema through formal medical channels. Treatment may include taking oral and topical anti-allergy medications. It is recommended to gently wash the affected area with lukewarm water, avoid using hot water for washing, abstain from consuming spicy and irritating foods, avoid staying up late, and steer clear of public baths and swimming to maintain good hygiene in the affected area. Keeping the area ventilated and dry can also be beneficial to the condition. After the eczema is healed, it is important to prevent a relapse by enhancing physical fitness, sweating more, and bathing more frequently.
