Clinical symptoms

1. Subacute scrotal eczema

The key active 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. The situation seriously affects the quality of sleep and work.

2. Chronic scrotal eczema

It is caused by long-term, difficult-to-heal, and recurrent subacute and acute eczema. Due to the long time and continuous scratching, the skin of the scrotum becomes dry and thick, with deep wrinkles and walnut-like skin. Thin scabs and desquamation often appear, and the melanin of the skin increases. Scratching also causes a decrease in melanin. It is often itchy and difficult to fall asleep. Because it is difficult to treat and recurrent, the skin of the scrotum may change like edema.
