Cierra Damp testicular skin may be related to factors such as strong secretion of local sweat glands, vulvar eczema, tinea cruris, scrotal dermatitis, fungal infection, etc. It can be alleviated by keeping the local area dry and breathable, using topical drugs, and antifungal treatment.
1. Strong local sweat gland secretion
The sweat glands in the scrotal skin are densely distributed. Sitting for a long time, wearing tight chemical fiber underwear or high temperature environment may stimulate excessive sweat secretion. It is recommended to choose pure cotton breathable loose underwear, clean it with warm water every day and dry it completely to avoid using alkaline soap to irritate the skin.
2. Vulvar eczema
Contact with detergent residue or allergic substances may trigger scrotal eczema, which manifests as erythema, papules and oozing. It may be related to abnormal immune function and exposure to chemical fibers. Triamcinolone acetonide and econazole cream, hydrocortisone butyrate cream and other topical preparations can be used as directed by the doctor. Loratadine tablets can be taken orally when itching is obvious.
3. Tinea cruris
Caused by Trichophyton rubrum infection, it mostly occurs at the junction of the groin and scrotum, showing annular erythema with scaling. It is related to local moisture, sweating and low immunity. Bifonazole cream and miconazole nitrate powder need to be used together, and in severe cases, itraconazole capsules need to be taken orally.
4. Scrotal dermatitis
Long-term friction and stimulation can cause stratum corneum damage, and skin thickening and chapping may occur. It is related to repeated friction on the inner thighs of obese people. Compound dexamethasone acetate cream can be used externally to promote repair, and mupirocin ointment needs to be added in case of combined infection.
5. Fungal infection
Candida albicans infection is common in people with diabetes or antibiotic abuse. Red patches with clear edges and white scales appear on the scrotum. Diagnosis requires skin scraping and microscopic examination, and clotrimazole cream combined with wet compresses of sodium bicarbonate solution is used for treatment.
It is necessary to avoid scratching the affected area on a daily basis. After cleaning, use a hair dryer with a cold wind setting to dry the wrinkled area. Diabetic patients should strictly control their blood sugar, and obese people are advised to lose weight to reduce skin friction. Hands should be cleaned before use of all external medicines. If symptoms persist or if suppuration or fever occurs, you should seek immediate medical attention from a dermatologist.
