What causes the scrotal skin to turn black?

The scrotum is an important organ of the male body. The male testicles are covered by the scrotum, but this area is also easily damaged by some inflammation. Nowadays, many male friends have found that the skin of their scrotum area is getting darker and darker, and they are very confused about this. So, what is the reason for the darkening of the scrotum skin? It may be caused by scrotal eczema. Let's take a look at the detailed introduction below.

Scrotal eczema is a common type of eczema, which is limited to the scrotal skin, sometimes extending to the anus, and rarely to the penis. This disease is severely itchy, the rash changes polymorphically, and it is easy to relapse. To achieve the goal of radical cure, personal hygiene needs to be paid attention to, and appropriate medications should be chosen to persist in treatment and avoid scratching.

Clinical manifestations:

1. Acute scrotal eczema

The main symptom is itching, and patients often discover the disease because of itching in the scrotum. As the disease progresses, the itching gradually worsens, and scratching cannot relieve the itching. In severe cases, it affects sleep and work.

2. Chronic scrotal eczema

It is caused by long-term unhealed acute or subacute eczema and repeated attacks. Due to the long time and constant scratching, the skin of the scrotum becomes dry and thickened, with deep wrinkles and walnut-like skin, often with thin scabs and scales, and the skin pigmentation deepens; there are also cases where the pigmentation is reduced due to scratching. There is often severe itching and insomnia. Due to the difficulty in treatment and repeated failure to heal, the scrotal skin may change like eczema.

3. Subacute scrotal eczema

It is a transformation from acute scrotal eczema, characterized by mild thickening and mild erosion of the scrotal skin, more scaling, little exudate, and still severe itching.

What is the reason for the black scrotal skin? If male friends have symptoms of scrotal eczema, don't panic or be afraid, go to a regular hospital for examination in time. If the disease is diagnosed and treated early, this disease can be cured in time and effectively, so don't delay the disease.
