Scrotal eczema: Symptoms, causes, and treatment - Medical News Today

Image
Scrotal eczema, or scrotal dermatitis, is a noncontagious, itchy, and dry skin condition that affects the scrotum, the sac of skin containing the testicles. It can also involve the penis, groin, inner thighs, and around the anus. Eczema is a broad term doctors use to describe a condition causing itchy and inflamed skin. Scrotal dermatitis may be due to atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, or a combination of more than one type of eczema. Scrotal eczema shares some of the same symptoms as eczema elsewhere on the body. This article explains these symptoms and how to treat and manage the condition. In scrotal eczema, the eczema flares occur on the scrotum, which is the skin around the sac that holds the testicles. Genital eczema may also affect the penis, groin, and skin around the anus and buttocks. Eczema symptoms may vary depending on the condition's severity. People may experience periods where symptoms worsen and periods where they improve. When eczema wo...

Why You Should Never, Ever Pop a Nose Pimple - Self

Image

But before you even think about giving one of those suckers a good squeeze, you should know that there's a reason—a few, actually—why you shouldn't mess with nose zits. Popping a pimple anywhere usually isn't a good idea (you can read more about that here). But when it comes to your nose in particular, the stakes are considerably higher—so much so that experts have dubbed the region from your nasal bridge to the corners of your mouth the triangle of death or danger triangle, Mamina Turegano, MD, board-certified dermatologist at Sanova Dermatology in New Orleans, tells SELF. The good news is that you probably won't die after going to town on that annoying nostril bump in front of your bathroom mirror, Dr. Turegano says. Still, we strongly suggest you keep reading to learn why, exactly, this area of your face has...

Are You Unwittingly Aiding the Rise of Superfungi? - Medscape

Image
Unnecessary or incorrect use of topical antifungal medications is driving the spread of fungal infections like ringworm, which are becoming more difficult to treat, according to a January 11 study published in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report .  If a patient's condition is not caused by a fungus but is treated as such, treatment will be ineffective. The authors strongly advise primary care clinicians to confirm ringworm diagnoses through lab testing before prescribing treatments such as clotrimazole or combinations of antifungals and corticosteroids. And because many topical treatments are also available over-the-counter, doctors should advise patients about how to use them correctly. "In the last few years, there have been many antifungal resistant cases of tinea corporisand onychomycosisreported," or ringworm and finger or toenail infections, respectively, said Shari Lipner, MD, PhD, a dermatologist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, and an author of t...
