What is the cause of small particles under the penis skin?

Some men may find small particles growing under the skin of their penis for various reasons. They may not feel anything unusual at first, but then they may feel redness, swelling and itching. In fact, when small particles grow, men should be alert to the occurrence of diseases. These phenomena may be manifestations of scrotal eczema. So let me tell you how to prevent and treat scrotal eczema.

Symptoms of scrotal eczema

Scrotal eczema is the most 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 is polymorphic, easy to relapse, and difficult to cure.

Acute scrotal eczema is mainly manifested by diffuse redness, swelling, and severe itching of the scrotal skin. Many papules and blisters ranging in size from needles to rice grains may appear at the same time. After scratching or rubbing, the erythema, papules, and blisters rupture, revealing large areas of moist erosion, with a large amount of light yellow slurry exuding, part of which condenses into pairs of light yellow scabs. Generally, after 2-3 weeks, the redness and swelling will be reduced, the exudate will decrease, and it will gradually heal completely, but it is easy to relapse.

Causes of subacute scrotal eczema

Subacute scrotal eczema 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.

If subacute scrotal eczema is not treated in time, it will be delayed for a long time or recur repeatedly, and it may turn into chronic scrotal eczema. The scrotal skin will gradually become thicker and rougher, dark red or gray-brown, with enlarged wrinkles and walnut shell shape, and scales attached. During the course of the disease, it may also cause erosion, exudation and other symptoms of acute or subacute scrotal eczema due to severe itching and scratching.

Scrotal eczema is not sexually transmitted

The cause of the disease has not been fully understood yet. It is generally believed to be an allergic skin disease with severe symptoms, but it is not contagious and will not be transmitted through sexual intercourse. However, since this disease brings mental and physical burdens to patients and causes adverse sensory stimulation to spouses, sexual life will be affected to a certain extent.

Treating scrotal eczema

The editor reminds everyone that when treating scrotal eczema, you should try to avoid all kinds of external stimulation, such as hot water washing, violent scratching, soft clothing, breathable underwear, and a light diet. When taking medication, you should take it under the guidance of a professional doctor and with sedatives. Remember not to take medication at will.
