Itching on both sides of the testicles

The testicles are important male reproductive organs and are also a relatively private part of the male body. If the testicles are itchy, it is likely that you have a skin disease called scrotal eczema. Scrotal eczema has a great impact on men, especially on their sexual ability, so it needs to be diagnosed and treated in time, and private care should also be done well. The following will introduce the care and treatment methods of scrotal eczema.

Avoid local irritation, avoid scratching the area as much as possible, do not wash the area with hot water or soapy water, and do not apply strongly irritating drugs locally. Pay special attention to not applying hormone drugs locally at will, as these can easily worsen or relapse the disease. Avoid eating some irritating foods, such as onions, ginger, garlic, strong tea, coffee, alcohol and other foods and drugs that are likely to cause allergies.

According to the shape, scope and degree of the rash, appropriate dosage forms of topical medications such as cleansing, antipruritic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, astringent and keratinizing agents should be selected for the symptoms.

(1) In case of redness, swelling, erosion, or exudation, cold wet compresses of 3% boric acid solution or 0.02% furazolidone solution can be used.

(2) When the dermatitis symptoms are alleviated and the exudate decreases, zinc oxide oil or bran oil paste can be applied externally.

(3) For erythema, papules and small blisters, calamine lotion or calamine powder can be used.

(4) Chronic cases often use tar or corticosteroid ointments or creams.

(1) Antihistamines

The efficacy of eczema has yet to be further proven, but it can produce a sedative and anti-itching effect. Long-acting antihistamines include loratadine and cetirizine. Sedative antihistamines such as diphenhydramine and chlorpheniramine can be used to relieve itching at night.

(2) Adrenal glucocorticoids must be used with caution. Once symptoms are controlled, the dosage should be reduced slowly to avoid adverse systemic reactions.

(3) When antibiotics cause obvious secondary bacterial infection, appropriate antibiotics should be considered.
