Itching of the scrotum, hardening and thickening of the skin

Thickening of the scrotal skin may be caused by scrotal eczema or scrotal skin infection. You can apply some ointments, such as fusidic acid cream and dexamethasone cream. After one to two weeks of treatment, the symptoms should gradually subside. Scrotal eczema and scrotal infection are usually caused by poor environmental hygiene. Therefore, you should clean the scrotum with cold water or herbal lotion before going to bed every day. Do not use soap, shower gel or other irritating things to clean.

If the patient has thickening of the scrotal skin, it may be related to scrotal eczema. Scrotal eczema refers to a major manifestation of eczema, which is often limited to the scrotal skin and sometimes spreads to the anus. Scrotal eczema can cause thickening of the scrotal skin and clinical symptoms such as severe itching and scaling. It is recommended to go to the hospital for outpatient examination and treatment immediately. Diagnose scrotal eczema and use anti-allergic drugs for treatment, such as loratadine tablets, levocetirizine, cyproheptadine and other drugs. It is also recommended to maintain a clean environment in the lower body, wear loose underwear, and avoid eating irritating foods.

There are many reasons for male scrotal skin itching, but infection, skin allergy or other factors cannot be ruled out. The most common is scrotal skin bacterial infection and folliculitis, which can cause hair follicle purulent infection in severe cases. Scrotal folliculitis caused by bacteria is also common, often accompanied by other manifestations of skin fungal infection such as tinea cruris.

Scrotal eczema is caused by allergic factors. This kind of itching is often more severe, often recurring, and difficult to heal. The scrotal skin will also thicken due to inflammation and irritation. Pubic lice and scabies are two contagious diseases that can also cause scrotal skin itching.
