The location of the male scrotum is hidden, the skin is delicate, the local area is not ventilated, and the humidity is high. In addition, the weather is hot, and the sweat is soaked in moisture, which is extremely prone to various skin diseases.
Dermatitis is a common scrotal skin disease that may be caused by a lack of B vitamins in the diet. The symptoms include flushing, exudation, peeling, and even blistering of the skin, which is painful and itchy. The main preventive measures are to eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, and cereals, and supplement nutrients such as vitamins B2 and B6. After the onset of the disease, the skin of the affected area should be kept clean, and zinc oxide ointment can be applied.
Eczema is a common scrotal skin disease, mainly caused by sweat and unclean irritation. The symptoms include redness and swelling of the skin, blistering, exudation, crusting, and even thickening and coarseness, with an unbearable itching. The treatment method is to orally take anti histamine drugs such as chlorpheniramine, cisplatin, etc., clean the skin of the affected area and apply Fuxin, triamcinolone urea ointment, etc., 1-2 times a day.
Tinea is a scrotal dermatosis caused by mold infection, often associated with dermatosis in other parts of the patient. The skin of the affected scrotum is flushed, with papules or blisters, followed by peeling off dandruff. The affected area often presents annular damage and severe itching. The method of prevention and treatment is to apply external anti tinea ointment such as dactyline cream, Pikangwang, and clotrimazole ointment to the affected area (highly irritant tinea lotion should not be used), while treating tinea in other parts of the body such as tinea manus, tinea pedis, and tinea cruris to prevent re infection after recovery.
The editor reminds you:
After suffering from the "unspoken" scrotal skin disease, it is important to eliminate the feeling of tension and fear, and never compare it with sexually transmitted diseases, so as not to increase anxiety. Second, we should abandon the mentality of "concealing and treating hidden diseases", and avoid being misled by quacks, false advertisements, or self motivated drug abuse. Instead, we should go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Third, enhance self-protection awareness, wear loose underwear with soft texture, easy to absorb water, and good ventilation, and frequently change and wash. Scratch the scrotum as little as possible to avoid scratching the skin causing infection and aggravating the damage. Fourth, improve the dietary structure, eat less stimulating foods such as chili peppers, and also ban alcohol, especially strong alcohol.
