What causes a red bump on the scrotum?

A red pimple on the scrotum is a problem that many men are worried about. They don’t know what is going on with this phenomenon. If the red pimple continues to persist, many men will be more worried. Men know that there are many reasons for this, but they don’t know which one it is, so they don’t know what treatment method is the most suitable. Let’s take a look at the reasons for the red pimple on the scrotum:

Considering it is a bacterial skin problem, it is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, because irritating foods can affect the body's endocrine system. Do not wear tight underwear. Change and wash underwear in time, especially after exercise. Do not scratch or perm excessively, especially do not perm with soapy water.

This phenomenon may also be scrotal eczema.

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.

It is worth noting that once the scrotum becomes itchy, exudates, crusts, and hypertrophy, and does not heal after a long period of treatment, it should be considered that this disease is the cause.

Because this disease is not ringworm, it cannot be treated as ringworm. Scratching, rubbing, rubbing, and scalding are the most taboos for this disease. Hot water, soap, salt water, alkaline water, etc. should not be used. It is also not suitable to use iodine, ringworm medicine, garlic and other irritants. As long as it can be guaranteed not to scratch or irritate the skin, many patients can get better quickly. This disease is related to emotions. Keeping a good mood, getting enough rest and having confidence in the victory over the disease are also key links. In terms of diet, it is necessary to avoid spicy foods such as green onions, ginger, and garlic. For drug treatment, cold compress is the main treatment in the acute stage. About 3000 ml of clean water can be used each time without adding any medicine, or 3 grams of alum can be added. Or use 10% phellodendron solution or 30 grams of dandelion and 15 grams of wild chrysanthemum to decoct and apply wet compress after cooling. If combined with infection, add 1 gram of chlorhexidine or 0.1 gram of potassium permanganate and add 3000 ml of clean water. These methods are very effective for scrotal itching and exudation.

The above-mentioned disease is most likely the cause of red bumps on the scrotum. Red is the most prominent symptom of eczema. If the scrotum is scrotal eczema, it may sometimes cause a painful feeling. If you have scrotal eczema, you must seek timely treatment, take it seriously, clean the area in time, and then eat lighter foods.
