Causes of small bumps on scrotum

The pimples on the scrotum are a disease symptom that makes men tremble with fear, because many times the factors of this symptom are relatively serious. However, people do not know much about this phenomenon, so when they are worried, they do not know that they have found the cause of this symptom themselves, which makes it more convenient for us to learn about the treatment of the disease. Men are worried that it will affect their reproductive function, and some are worried that it will threaten their sex life. So what is the reason for the pimples on the scrotum?

If there are bumps on the scrotum, if there is no erosion or discharge in the affected area, it can be diagnosed as scrotal dermatitis. If there are erosion and discharge, it should be diagnosed as eczema! Regarding treatment methods, patients are advised not to use folk remedies and hormone drugs at will, so as to avoid the spread or deterioration of the disease and delay its cure. Scrotal eczema and scrotal neurodermatitis are the most common skin diseases of the scrotum and are allergic reactions. Some people also believe that the occurrence of this disease is related to genetic factors, hot water washing, and irritable temperament. Both diseases occur symmetrically, often affecting the entire scrotum. The affected area is extremely itchy, the course of the disease is long, recurrent, and cannot be cured despite repeated treatments. In the acute stage of scrotal eczema, there may be various changes such as papules, blisters, pustules, erosions, exudation, and scabs. In the chronic stage, it manifests as deepening of the skin grooves, thickening of the skin, and roughness of the scrotal skin like leather, which is what people call "scrotal eczema". If it is delayed or not treated properly, the acute and chronic stages may transform into each other and last for many years. In the acute stage, scrotal dermatitis may have papules, erythema, redness, and small red bumps or bleeding scabs after scratching. The difference from scrotal eczema is that there is no erosion and discharge. However, if erosion and infection form inflammation due to long-term scratching, it can also cause symptoms of discharge. But this is different from scrotal eczema, which is caused by inflammation.

1. What is scrotal eczema? Experts from Hangzhou Apollo Men's Hospital explain: Scrotal eczema is the most common skin disease of the scrotum. It is an allergic reaction and a common genital skin disease in men. It is commonly known as "scrotal eczema" and "scrotal fistula". It is very stubborn and patients often suffer from pain or secondary infection due to scratching and inappropriate stimulation.

2. The cause of scrotal eczema The cause of scrotal eczema is more complicated, including internal factors and external factors.

1. Internal factors include: people with allergic constitutions, people with long-term mental tension, and people with large mood swings are prone to this disease; in addition, people with certain diseases, such as chronic digestive system diseases, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine disorders, and metabolic disorders, are also prone to this disease under the influence of external factors.

2. External factors include: ① The living and working environment is humid and the air humidity is relatively high; ② External stimulation, cold or hot, sweating a lot, excessive scratching, etc.; ③ Tight underwear, or friction with foreign objects, wearing synthetic underwear can induce scrotal eczema.

3. Symptoms of scrotal eczema

1. At the beginning, it is a slightly raised red spot with clear edges. It gradually expands, has scaling on it, and it itches spontaneously. It gradually changes from red to purple, brown or skin color.

2. If not treated in time, the damage will spread and expand. The center of the lesion will gradually heal itself and develop to the periphery. The edge of the erythema will be more inflamed, with active rashes, blisters, scabs, and even erosions on it. The center will heal itself and form a ring or semi-ring shape. "Building a Great Wall on the buttocks" is one of the jokes about tinea cruris. Outside the scrotal folds, it appears as scaly patches.

The reasons for the growth of small bumps on the scrotum are as mentioned above. After knowing the cause of this disease, should we start treating this disease now? In this case, timely improving the cause of the disease is the most critical. During this period, we must also remember to adjust our diet reasonably, because when this symptom appears in the scrotum, it may also be an inflammatory infection. Eating spicy and stimulating foods at this time will aggravate the condition.
