Scrotal eczema is very painful, let’s see how Chinese medicine treats it
Speaking of eczema, everyone should be familiar with it. Clinically, eczema is a very common skin disease, which can easily lead to skin ulceration and infection due to severe itching, causing huge inconvenience and harm to patients’ daily life and work. This is already true for eczema, not to mention scrotal eczema.
After suffering from scrotal eczema, the itching is very annoying. For scrotal eczema, Chinese medicine has its own treatment.
How does Chinese medicine treat scrotal eczema?
As we all know, scrotal eczema is a type of eczema that occurs on the male scrotum and belongs to the categories of “kidney cyst wind”, “cytorrhea” and “hydrangea wind” in traditional Chinese medicine.
According to the progression of the disease, it can be divided into three stages: acute phase, subacute phase and chronic phase. The acute and subacute phases often show itching, swelling, flushing, erosion, and exudation of the scrotal skin, while the chronic phase often shows itching, infiltration, thickening, dryness, lichenification, and cracks in the scrotal skin. If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time and actively treat the disease.
Both Chinese and Western treatments can be used to treat scrotal eczema. Today we will mainly talk about how Chinese medicine treats scrotal eczema, which is mainly divided into internal treatment and external treatment.
Internal control law
To treat acute scrotal eczema, clear away heat, detoxify and remove dampness. Longdan Xiegan Decoction, Tufuling Decoction, Simiao Powder, etc. are often used. According to the pathogenesis characteristics of chronic scrotal eczema, which is a syndrome of spleen deficiency and dampness and heat, the method of strengthening the spleen, removing dampness and relieving itching can be used.
External treatment
Not only internal treatment methods need to be based on syndrome differentiation, but external treatment methods also need to be based on syndrome differentiation. If scrotal eczema oozes out in the acute stage, first treat the dampness, clear away heat and dampness, detoxify and relieve itching. Use Kushen Decoction to fumigate and wash the vulva. In the chronic stage of scrotal eczema, the main treatments are nourishing blood, moistening dryness, dispelling wind and relieving itching, so Rhubarb and Licorice Decoction can be used for external use.
If you suffer from scrotal eczema, don’t avoid medical treatment. It’s better to seek medical advice promptly.
