What are the symptoms of scrotitis? These are the most common!

Scrotitis is a common disease in male genitals. The most obvious symptom of scrotitis is dampness of the genitals, which can cause bacteria to infect the genitals and then damage the scrotum. It is usually accompanied by itching. If it is not treated in time, more serious symptoms such as scrotal dermatitis and scrotal eczema will occur.

1. Scrotal dermatitis: The cause may be related to the lack of B vitamins in the diet. Its symptoms are skin flushing, exudation, peeling, and even blistering, which is painful and itchy.

2. Scrotal eczema: It is mainly caused by the stimulation of sweat and dirt. Its manifestations are redness and swelling of the skin, blisters, exudation, scabs, and even thickening and roughness, which is extremely itchy.

3. Scrotal ringworm: It is a skin disease caused by fungal infection, which is often associated with other skin ringworms in other parts of the patient. The skin of the scrotum is flushed, with papules or blisters, followed by dandruff. The affected area often has ring-shaped damage and is severely itchy.

4. Riboflavin deficiency scrotitis: It is more common in men who eat refined white rice, refined white noodles all year round or have long-term diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite or picky eating. The main manifestations are: the scrotum is slightly red and shiny at the beginning, and then light red patches appear on both sides of the scrotum, 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 and glossitis.

5. Simple lichen scrotum: It is a neurodermatitis of the scrotum. Its characteristics are itching, thickening and coarsening of the skin, but no permeation of fluid. The course of the disease is often long and recurrent and difficult to heal.

6. Traditional Chinese Medicine Methods

1. Understand the characteristics Skin lesions are mostly irregular, polygonal or flat round papules that merge into patches and are normal skin color or light brown. Over time, the skin becomes thickened, the skin grooves deepen, the skin ridges rise, and it is easy to form lichenification, which is an important feature of this disease.

2. Distinguish diseases and venereal diseases. The skin lesions are mainly papules, or erythema, itching, red tongue, greasy coating, and rapid pulse. These are mostly caused by the interaction of wind, dampness, and heat evils in the skin, which is a positive syndrome. If the disease does not heal for a long time, or recurs repeatedly, it will develop into blood deficiency and wind dryness. The skin lesions will be lichen-like, dry, thick, and scaly, like the skin of a cow's collar, accompanied by a pale red tongue and a weak pulse. These are mostly negative syndromes or a combination of positive and negative syndromes.

3. Understand the causes. This disease is often triggered or aggravated by mental factors, irritating foods, or friction and scratching of clothing.
