What to do if you have scrotal ringworm

The scrotum is relatively dark, so it is very common to have some skin diseases. Scrotal tinea is also a common skin disease, which is generally caused by the stimulation of sweat and dirt. At this time, the patient should clean the affected area in time, and then use targeted ointments to keep the affected area dry and clean.

The male scrotum is located in a hidden area, and the skin is soft, thin and delicate. In addition, the area is not ventilated for a long time and the humidity is high, which makes it very easy to develop various skin diseases. Therefore, prevention and treatment should be strengthened.

1) Scrotal dermatitis - the cause may be related to the lack of B vitamins in the diet. Its symptoms include skin flushing, exudation, peeling, and even blisters, which are painful and itchy. The main preventive measures are to eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, supplement vitamins B2, B6 and other nutrients, and keep the skin of the affected area clean after the onset of the disease, and apply some zinc oxide paste.

2) Scrotal eczema - mainly caused by sweat and dirt. It manifests as redness, swelling, blisters, exudation, scabs, and even thickening and roughness, which is extremely itchy. The treatment method is to take antihistamines such as promethazine orally, and apply skin-relaxing and triamcinolone urea ointment to the affected area after cleaning, 1-2 times a day. 1055

3) Simple lichen scrotum - that is, neurodermatitis of the scrotal area. Its characteristics are itching, thickening and coarsening of the skin, but no permeation of fluid. The course of the disease is often long and recurrent and difficult to heal. The treatment method is similar to that of scrotal eczema, which is to take anti-allergic drugs such as prodrugs and diphenhydramine orally, and apply Fuqingsong and Sanjiu Piyanping ointments to the affected area 1-2 times a day.

4) Scrotal tinea - a skin disease caused by fungal infection, often associated with tinea in other parts of the patient's skin. The skin of the affected scrotum is flushed, with papules or blisters, followed by dandruff. The affected area often has annular damage and is very itchy. The method of prevention and treatment is to apply anti-tinea ointment such as Dakning Cream, Pikangwang and Kemei Ointment, New Foot Ointment, etc. (Strongly irritating tinea ointment should not be used) to the affected area, and at the same time treat tinea in other parts of the body such as hand tinea, foot tinea, and thigh tinea, etc., to prevent reinfection after recovery.

5) Riboflavin deficiency scrotitis - more common in men who eat refined white rice and white flour all year round or have long-term diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite or picky eating. The main symptoms are: the scrotum is slightly red and shiny at first, and then light red patches with scales on both sides of the scrotum appear. Soon, multiple flat papules the size of soybeans may appear, with varying degrees of itching, often accompanied by angular cheilitis and glossitis. Taking riboflavin tablets can significantly improve the symptoms.

After suffering from the "unspeakable" scrotal skin disease, you should eliminate tension and never compare it with sexually transmitted diseases to avoid adding worries and fears.
