What medicine is used for scrotal dampness and itching

For male friends, the scrotum is a private part of men. The dampness of the scrotum always makes men miserable. This not only causes psychological harm to male friends and hurts their self-esteem, but may also be detrimental to health. So does a damp scrotum really indicate that the body is sick? What methods can solve the problem of a damp scrotum? Then let's find out what medicine to use for a damp and itchy scrotum!

Scrotal dampness refers to symptoms such as erosion, dampness, and itching of the male scrotum caused by spleen and kidney deficiency, drug allergy, vitamin deficiency, fungal growth, etc. It is a male-specific skin disease.

The causes of scrotal eczema are complex, including internal and external factors. People with allergic constitutions, long-term mental tension, and mood swings are prone to this disease; you can try drugs containing Conlyx for treatment; in addition, people with some diseases, such as chronic digestive system diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine disorders, and metabolic disorders, are also prone to this disease under the influence of external factors.

2. What is the cause of scrotal dampness?

1. Excessive spleen dampness

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, part of the reason for male scrotal moisture is due to excessive spleen dampness. Our body's water metabolism is mainly through three internal organs, the first is the lung, the second is the spleen, and the third is the kidney. Some men with scrotal moisture have spleen obstruction, which results in food and water not being properly transported to various parts of the body.

There are many reasons for spleen dampness, including congenital and acquired reasons. The congenital reason is inherited from parents, and the spleen function is weak. Another reason is acquired, such as poor health, frequent illness, etc. These reasons will lead to severe spleen dampness. When the spleen function is not good, the transportation and transformation function is not good, which affects the spleen's water and moisture transportation function. This is why people with spleen dampness often have loose stools. Some people with spleen deficiency are prone to dampness in the scrotum, which is caused by poor water and moisture transportation and spleen deficiency.

2. Dampness and heat in the lower part of the body

As for the problem of scrotal dampness, damp heat in the lower part of the body is also one of the causes, and this situation is caused by natural climate and unclean diet. For example, people who like to drink and eat spicy food often have particularly large damp heat, stick out their tongue, have thick and greasy fur, sticky yellow urine, and also have scrotal dampness.

In addition to dietary reasons, it is of course related to climate. If it is often rainy, humid and hot, the scrotum of people with spleen deficiency will be even more moist.

3. Chronic prostatitis

You may not know that one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis is scrotal dampness. In addition, it is also closely related to long-term sitting and working in an overheated environment. If you are a prostatitis patient, scrotal dampness is related to prostatitis. This is because the scrotal skin has many wrinkles, many sweat glands, strong secretion, and air circulation is not easy. Wearing tight underwear such as synthetic fiber will make the ventilation situation worse.

4. Not breathable

One of the reasons for scrotal moisture is tight underwear. If the scrotum is in a closed environment for a long time, it will inevitably lead to scrotal moisture. In fact, the scrotum itself has a certain ability to expand and contract. Its skin contains a large number of sweat glands, which can regulate local temperature and maintain balance. However, if the sweat secreted cannot be dissipated in time, the scrotum will become damp and cold.

Therefore, male friends must pay special attention to it. When choosing underwear in daily life, they must choose cotton and breathable underwear to prevent the occurrence of scrotal moisture.

5. Physiological functions

Some men with certain physiological disorders may also experience scrotal moisture, such as prostate problems. The prostate is close to the seminal vesicle and vas deferens. Once infected with inflammation, the bacteria will slowly move down the vas deferens and into the scrotum, destroying the nerve regulation function and causing it to become disordered. The disorder of nerve regulation will affect the physiological function of the sweat glands, resulting in an imbalance between sweat secretion and volatiles, which will eventually lead to local moisture and itching.

Scrotal dampness is not necessarily pathological, so if there is no other discomfort, just pay attention to local cleaning and drying. Usually pay attention to a light diet, eat less raw and cold food, and eat less spicy and fishy food. However, general scrotal dampness may be related to prostate disease. It is recommended that you actively do a prostate examination to determine the specific condition and pay attention to symptomatic treatment.

1. Western medicine treatment

Scrotal eczema is a common scrotal skin disease, commonly known as "scrotal eczema" or "scrotal eczema". It occurs symmetrically, often affecting the entire scrotum. The affected area is extremely itchy, the course is long-lasting, and it recurs repeatedly. It is difficult to cure. This disease can be acute or chronic. The acute stage is equivalent to the "erosive type" and the chronic stage is equivalent to the "dry type". This disease is more common in summer.

The scrotum is a part that men are ashamed to expose. However, the skin here is a troublesome place. The following diseases often cause scrotal itching:

Scrotal eczema has a variety of symptoms on the scrotal skin, including erythema, papules, blisters, erosion, exudation, and scabs. The patient feels burning and itching. Acute swelling or erosion often occurs due to scratching or washing with hot water. The disease has a long course and recurring attacks, causing the skin to become thick, rough, and pigmented.

Tinea cruris is a condition in which annular erythema appears on the scrotal skin, with scaling and severe itching. Patients often also suffer from tinea pedis (commonly known as foot ulcer) or tinea manuum, and often have similar symptoms on the skin of the thigh opposite the scrotum and on the buttocks.

Fixed drug eruption is a recurring round edematous erythema with clear edges, burning sensation and itching in a certain part of the scrotal skin. It often appears within a few hours after taking the wrong medicine and gradually disappears about a week after stopping the medicine. Sometimes dark purple spots remain. If the same type of medicine is taken by mistake again, it may recur.

Scabies causes soybean-sized nodules to appear on the scrotal skin. Prior to this, scattered papules and blisters may appear in the crevices of the fingers, wrists, waist, and lower abdomen, often with severe itching at night.

Scrotal neurodermatitis is closely related to emotions. When emotions fluctuate, the scrotal area becomes severely itchy. After scratching, papules appear on the skin, which gradually merge into one piece, and the skin becomes thicker and harder.

Riboflavin deficiency scrotitis. Long-term consumption of refined white rice, refined white flour, repeated washing of rice, eating chopped green vegetables, or long-term diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, picky eating, partiality, etc., can cause riboflavin deficiency. Its main manifestations are: the scrotum is slightly red and shiny at first, and then light red patches appear on both sides of the scrotal suture, with scales sticking to them. Soon, multiple flat papules the size of soybeans may appear, with varying degrees of itching, often accompanied by angular cheilitis, glossitis, etc. As long as you take riboflavin tablets for a week, the symptoms will improve significantly. After changing your eating habits or returning to normal gastrointestinal function, the condition will also be relieved quickly, but it will recur when the nutritional status is poor.

Patients often cannot distinguish the above-mentioned common scrotal skin diseases, and the treatment methods are also different, so it is necessary to ask a specialist to diagnose and treat them according to the specific condition.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Classification

Scrotal eczema is generally divided into two types in traditional Chinese medicine: deficiency and excess. Excess is mostly caused by dampness and heat. It is caused by eating spicy, fatty and sweet food, or dampness of the scrotum, sweat infiltration, and friction of underwear. Papules, ulcers, and pustules can be seen on the scrotum. After scratching, erosion, exudation, and scabs will appear. The scrotal skin is red and burning. Deficiency syndrome is mostly transformed from the acute phase. The scrotal skin is thickened, rough like grass, black in color, and itchy. The treatment of excess syndrome should clear away heat and dampness, while the treatment of deficiency syndrome should nourish blood and moisturize the skin.
