Testicular mycosis in men and children
Poles’ intimate problems are still overshadowed by shame and taboo. Such socially important aspects as the intimate life should not be ignored in the public debate. While it is often said about women’s intimate problems, men’s problems are often hidden by themselves. This is related to the stereotype of a healthy guy who never complains about anything, and often pride does not allow him to admit to the problems of the intimate sphere. One such problem is testicular mycosis in men.
More and more often we hear about people who suffer from itching, tingling or, more generally, skin lesions around the scrotum. Most people underestimate the matter and do not pay much attention to it. What’s more, very often people affected by this disease do not even realize that it is mycosis, because in many cases testicular mycosis in children or adults is not very different from ordinary irritation, especially in the initial stages. For this reason, few people know how to deal with this problem. The following article will present home remedies for scrotal mycosis , alternative medications and outline how to fight this ailment. However, it is worth remembering that these are only mitigation measuresthat can support the treatment recommended by the doctor.
How is testicular mycosis diagnosed?
Itching does not always mean ringworm. This can often be the result of allergenic washing agents. It is important to pay close attention to the changes that occur. To do this, it is worth following a few steps presented in the article. They will allow us to pre-diagnose the ailment at home. Of course, such a diagnosis should only serve as an indication and simply be a help in the diagnosis of a specialist, to whom we should go as soon as possible. A dermatologist will easily diagnose our condition and prescribe measures that will cure the disease. Sometimes a swab or blood sampling is needed to get the best results. This allows you to establish drugs to which the mushrooms are not resistant.
- Scrotal mycosis photo
The first and easiest way is to compare the appearance of the testicles to those of the photos posted on the Internet on specialized sites. Photos of the scrotal mycosis will allow us to assess whether it is really our problem or whether it is simply itching caused by allergies. However, let’s not forget that the mycosis on the testes in a child will look different than in an adult. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that not all redness means that we are dealing with mycosis. For this reason, the photos themselves can only serve as information about what this mycosis looks like.
- Scrotal mycosis symptoms
Another way to determine what exactly is wrong with us is, of course, to familiarize yourself with the typical symptoms of mycosis . The most common symptoms of testicular mycosis are reddened skin . In addition to redness, there may also be red spots and bruises . Very often scrotal mycosis is a consequence of inguinal mycosis , so if our groin has not been treated properly, there is a good chance that the disease has spread to the testicles. Other symptoms that are characteristic of scrotal mycosis are burning sensation , especially if we sit in one place for too long, or the appearance of blisters.. Observation is the basis of any action. Even if the view is not pleasant to the eyes.
- Medical diagnosis
As we mentioned at the beginning, the best way to diagnose ringworm is to consult a specialist . A dermatologist or venereologist is a doctor who will diagnose our disease. The information gathered in the meantime before the visit will be of great help and will make treatment easier.
What to do after diagnosis? How to treat testicular mycosis?
If we are sure of the diagnosis and we are considering starting the treatment, it is worth knowing a bit about some methods of treating mycosis. In addition to the antibiotics prescribed by your doctor, there are many other ways to fight ringworm. Of course, they will not be as effective as recommended by a dermatologist. However, these are treatments that will support treatment and bring relief.
Home remedies for mycosis of the scrotum – learn about the best of them
Treatment of mycosis on the testes is much easier with home remedies. We can find here both wraps made of ingredients generally available in our homes, as well as products for everyday use. Remember, however, that the use of such methods is recommended only in the treatment of a light, initial stage of mycosis .
- Salt
The use of salt is a very good idea because salt has anti-fungal properties . Table salt, which we usually use when preparing meals, is ideal as a home way to fight mycosis on the scrotum. It is recommended to prepare a bath with two glasses of table salt . Half an hour’s bath twice a day will stop the fungi , which are the source of infection, from multiplying and speed up wound healing.
- Garlic
Garlic, like salt, is very well known for its antifungal properties . To use garlic to fight mycosis, blend it and mix it with olive oil. Rub this ointment into the reddened area. Of course, we can use other combinations, such as garlic and honey ointment, or to get an even better effect – vinegar ointment, tea tree oil and garlic cloves – three ingredients with proven antibacterial properties. However, it should be remembered that if irritation is high, this method should not be used.
- Listerine for ringworm
Few people know, but Listerine fluid , which is used to refresh the breath, relieves pain, reduces itching and even gets rid of inflammation thanks to its antiseptic properties. Additionally, the alcohol in this liquid kills some of the fungi.
- Ointment – which ointment should you choose?
The first way to fight testicular mycosis is with an ointment. Local treatment is a very common solution in the case of non-advanced mycosis. Pharmacy creams should contain clotrimazole, a compound that is the main ingredient in many antifungal ointments. Examples of such ointments are Clotrimazolum, Canesten, Micetal or Lamislatt.
Prescription antifungal antibiotics
Some of the ointments mentioned above are also antibiotics. However, they are not as effective as prescription-only antibiotics by a dermatologist. For this reason, it is worth going for a consultation and using strong and proven antibiotics, especially if we are dealing with an advanced stage of mycosis on the testes.
What does mycosis on the testicles in a child look like?
In children, diagnosing mycosis on the testes is the same. The recommended solution is, of course, a visit to a dermatologist . However, if we are dealing with a delicate, initial variety, we can try medicinal ointments available in pharmacies after making sure that our child is not allergic to any of the ingredients. This is a temporary solution before visiting your doctor and may provide some relief. It should be remembered that children do not cope with the symptoms of diseases much worse.
With home remedies, you need to be careful especially among children. An unanticipated result of such treatment may be an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients of a naturally made ointment. Moreover, the use of Listerine fluid or any other alcohol-based agent can be counterproductive. The skin of a small child is still very delicate! We should also remember that treating mycosis on the testes in children may be more difficult, because it occurs in various forms and requires specialist medications, often prescribed only by prescription. For this reason, a visit to a dermatologist is the best solution, not only for children, but also for adults.
Summary
Ringworm is a problem that mostly affects adults. However, it does occur in children. Sometimes parents do not know how to deal with such situations. Mycosis in children is the same as in adults. However, the skin of a child and that of an adult may differ. An adult person often has discoloration, and a child only develops them. The same goes for symptoms. That is why the treatment of mycosis in children should not differ from the treatment of adults. If we follow the doctor’s recommendations, the problem will be solved very quickly.
