Red scrotum syndrome is a rare and chronic disease affecting males in their second half of life. It is characterized by erythema with sharpborders, no scaling but burning and pain sensations.
We report about two cases treated successfully with either doxycycline and tacrolimus or gabapentine.
For practical purposes we suggest to start treating red scrotum syndrome with doxycycline for 2 weeks and use gabapentin as second-line treatment when doxycycline fails.
红阴囊综合征是一种罕见的慢性疾病,影响中老年男性。其特征为边界清晰的红斑,无脱屑,但有灼痛和疼痛感。
我们报告了两例分别用多西环素和他克莫司或加巴喷丁成功治疗的病例。
出于实际考虑,我们建议先用多西环素治疗红阴囊综合征2周,当多西环素治疗失败时,将加巴喷丁作为二线治疗药物。
