Scrotal eczema can be uncomfortable, but several treatment options are available. The main treatments include:

• Topical medications like mild corticosteroids or steroid-free options like tacrolimus and pimecrolimus
• Moisturizers (emollients) to relieve dry, itchy skin
• Antibiotics if scratching has led to open sores
• Phototherapy in some cases using narrow band UVB therapy To help manage symptoms and prevent flares:

• Wear loose, cotton clothing
• Avoid fragranced laundry detergents
• Practice gentle hygiene - wash with warm water and non-irritating cleansers
• Don't overwash as this can worsen symptoms
• Apply moisturizer and any prescribed medications at least 30 minutes apart

Important: Don't try to treat scrotal eczema yourself - work with a healthcare provider to get proper diagnosis and treatment, as the sensitive skin in this area requires special care.
