Scrotal eczema symptoms

Male scrotal eczema is a very common disease in some middle-aged and elderly people. The cause of this disease is mostly due to the relatively humid living environment or the patient's own private hygiene. Most eczema patients will have a strong itching sensation after the disease occurs. Let me introduce it to you below. What is scrotal eczema?

First, what are the symptoms of scrotal eczema? The main symptom of acute scrotal eczema is itching, and the disease is often discovered due to itching of the scrotum. As the disease progresses, the itching gradually worsens, and scratching cannot relieve the itching. In severe cases, it affects sleep and work. Chronic scrotal eczema is caused by long-term non-healing and repeated attacks of acute and subacute eczema. Due to a long time and constant scratching, the skin of the scrotum becomes dry and thick, the wrinkles become deeper, and it is walnut-like, often with thin scabs and scales, and the skin pigmentation deepens; there are also cases where the pigmentation is reduced due to scratching. It is often severely itchy and cannot fall asleep. Due to the difficulty in treatment and repeated failure to heal, the scrotal skin may undergo changes similar to eczema.

Second, subacute scrotal eczema is a transformation from acute scrotal eczema, characterized by mild thickening and mild erosion of the scrotal skin, more scaling, little exudate, and still severe itching. 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, endocrine disorders, and metabolic disorders, are also prone to this disease under the influence of external factors. 2.

What are the symptoms of scrotal eczema? Since scrotal eczema is related to allergies like eczema in other parts of the body, the drugs used to treat allergies can be used to treat scrotal eczema. For example, some commonly used antihistamines include cyproheptadine, chlorpheniramine, loratadine, cetirizine, etc. Topical drugs are mainly some weak corticosteroid ointments, such as triamcinolone ointment, etc. Scrotal care should avoid re-irritation of the local area, avoid scratching the local area with your hands as much as possible, and do not use hot water or soapy water to clean the local area, let alone apply those irritating drugs locally. Special attention should be paid to not applying hormone drugs locally at will, which are very likely to worsen or relapse the disease. Avoid eating some irritating foods, such as onions, ginger, garlic, strong tea, coffee, alcohol and other foods and drugs that are prone to allergies.
