Causes and treatment of pimples under the scrotum

The phenomenon of pimples under the scrotum often occurs in today's society. When pimples begin to grow under the scrotum, many men will be particularly anxious, because we all know that the scrotum is the male reproductive organ, which mainly helps men to have children. If a man who has not had children at this time suffers from this symptom, then he will definitely worry about whether it will affect his reproductive function. I believe that many men will have this concern. So let's take a look at the causes and treatment methods of pimples under the scrotum.

We all know that when treating any disease, we must first understand what disease causes the symptoms, so that we can get timely treatment for the symptoms.

Male scrotal pimples are likely to be genital herpes. If it is genital herpes, then let's take a look at the treatment of this disease;

1. General treatment

(1) Mainly keep the area clean and dry. Wash it with isotonic saline every day. If you feel pain, you can take painkillers orally to provide mental comfort.

(2) For those with bacterial infection, topical antibiotic ointment can be used.

(3) For patients with obvious local pain, 5% lidocaine hydrochloride ointment can be applied externally or oral analgesics can be taken.

(4) Psychological support: explaining the nature of the disease, the causes of relapse, and how to treat and deal with it, to enhance confidence in fighting the disease.

2. Antiviral drug treatment

Recommended treatment options include: acyclovir, taken orally, 5 times a day; or acyclovir, taken orally, 3 times a day; or valacyclovir, taken orally, 2 times a day; or famciclovir, taken orally, 3 times a day. If it is a new onset of genital herpes, the course of treatment is 7 to 10 days; for recurrent genital herpes, the course of treatment is 5 days. Those with frequent recurrences need to take a lower dose for a longer course of treatment.

3. Health education

(1) Emphasize that patients should inform their sexual partners of their condition, obtain their understanding and cooperation, avoid sexual contact when prodromal symptoms or skin lesions appear, or better yet, use barrier contraceptive measures to reduce the risk of HSV transmission to their sexual partners;

(2) Condoms and other barrier contraceptive measures are recommended. Condoms can reduce the risk of genital herpes transmission, but sexual intercourse when skin lesions appear may still result in HSV sexual transmission even with condoms.

(3) Changing sexual behavior, avoiding extramarital sex, and eliminating multiple sexual partners are fundamental measures to prevent genital herpes.

Facing the above causes and treatments of scrotal pimples, I believe many men have begun to have a certain understanding. Genital herpes is still a contagious disease, and the main route of transmission is from sexual life. If you really get the disease for this reason, you must refrain from sexual life, otherwise it will be transmitted to others. Of course, there are many other reasons for scrotal pimples. It is recommended that you face it carefully when symptoms appear, and find the cause and treat the symptoms in time.
