Hi,

Skin atrophy means decrease in size or wasting away of a body part or tissue. To some, this is not observed, but due to the very sensitive and thin skin of the scrotum, this may happen. Treatment is based upon an individual's age, overall health status, and the type and severity of the condition. The severity of the lesion in the scrotum may not be as severe as those in the other areas.I hope this helps. Take care and regards.

what is the meaning of local atrophic skin changes???

[Dr Santos]

Hi,

The scrotum is a very sensitive area. Fucicort cream is usually indicated to inflammatory dermatoses where bacterial infection is present or likely to occur. And one side effect is local atrophic skin changes. Unless the lesion is diagnosed as eczema, refrain from using any medication. Treatment is always based upon an individual's age, overall health status, and the type and severity of the condition. It would be best to have it further evaluated by your doctor.

The goals for the treatment of eczema are to prevent itching, inflammation, and worsening of the condition. Keeping the skin well hydrated through the application of creams or ointments and avoiding over-bathing is an important step in treatment. Lifestyle modifications to avoid triggers for the condition are also recommended.
Take care and regards.
