Scrotal eczema is the most common skin disease of the scrotum and is an allergic reaction. Some people also believe that the occurrence of this disease is related to genetic factors, hot water washing, and irritability.

The disease occurs symmetrically, often affecting the entire scrotum. The affected area is extremely itchy, with a long course of disease, repeated attacks, and repeated treatments that cannot be cured. In the acute stage, there may be papules, small blisters, pustules, erosions, exudation, scabs, and other changes. In the chronic stage, it manifests as deepening of the skin grooves, thickening of the skin, and rough leathery scrotal skin, which is what people call "scrotal embroidery". If it is delayed or not treated properly, the acute stage and chronic stage may change mutually, and it may last for many years.

The time for bathing in winter should be adjusted at any time according to the seasonal climate and personal skin condition - reduce the number of baths, and gradually reduce it as the environment becomes drier; do not take a bath for too long, the water temperature should not feel cold, and do not scrub the body; it is advisable to use a shower gel containing moisturizing ingredients for bathing, and try to reduce the number of times the shower gel is used, and apply a moisturizing and moisturizing lotion all over the body after bathing.

If you have very dry skin, you can use glycerin, vaseline, olive oil and other highly moisturizing skin care products to lock in moisture on the skin surface and relieve dryness and itching. However, be aware that applying too much pure glycerin can also cause dry skin. It is best to add pure glycerin to shower gel or skin cream. I hope this helps you.

Traditional treatments for chronic stages include external application of Qingdai ointment or Pi Ku ointment. Heating and baking therapy is better. Fumigation or Sophora flavescens decoction baths can also be used. Western medicine treatment mainly uses prednisone ointments for external use. Adhere to the medication for at least 1 to 2 months, apply it to the affected area once in the morning and once in the evening. No bandaging is required. The thinner the better. There is no need to remove the previous medication before the next application. For infected eczema, antibacterial ointment can be applied. For thicker scrotal eczema, tar ointments can be applied, such as 5% coal tar ointment, 5% pine oil ointment, 5% soybean oil ointment, etc.
