What are the symptoms of male genital eczema?

Speaking of eczema, I believe everyone is familiar with it. It is a common skin disease in daily life. For example, the most common one is pediatric eczema, but in fact, not only children, but also adults suffer from eczema. The location of eczema is also different, but the symptoms are similar, such as red spots, itching, pain, etc. Now we are going to talk about male genital eczema. Due to its special location, it brings a lot of inconvenience and pain to people's lives. So let's talk about the treatment of genital eczema.

Eczema is a common skin disease. It is caused by a variety of internal and external factors. It is characterized by intense itching, polymorphic lesions, symmetrical distribution, exudative tendency, chronic course, and recurrent attacks. However, through the joint efforts of doctors and patients, effective treatment methods are now available. The causes of scrotal eczema are relatively complex, but most of them are related to allergies.

1. Drug treatment

Since scrotal eczema is related to allergies like eczema in other parts of the body, the drugs used to treat allergies can be used to treat scrotal eczema. For example, some commonly used antihistamines include cyproheptadine, chlorpheniramine, loratadine, cetirizine, etc. Topical drugs are mainly some weak corticosteroid ointments, such as triamcinolone ointment.

2. Scrotal care

Avoid re-irritating the area, avoid scratching the area with your hands as much as possible, do not use hot water or soapy water to clean the area, and do not apply strongly irritating drugs on the area. Pay special attention to not applying hormone drugs on the area casually, 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.

What are the preventive measures?

Scrotal eczema is a stubborn disease that is difficult to cure, so prevention of it is very necessary.

1. Choose underwear with good ventilation, breathability and heat dissipation

Do not wear tight underwear such as scrotal bag underwear. Change and wash underwear in time, especially after exercise, clean and wash underwear in time.

2. When there is scrotal itching

The most taboo for this disease is scratching, rubbing, friction, and scalding. Hot water, soap, salt water, alkaline water, etc. should not be used. Iodine, tinea medicine, garlic and other irritants should not be used externally. As long as you can ensure that you do not scratch or irritate the skin, many patients can quickly get better.
