Red scrotum syndrome
1Department of Dermatology and Allergology, Academic Teaching Hospital Dresden-Friedrichstadt, Friedrichstrasse 41, 01067 Dresden, Germany.
Background:
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.
Main Observations:
We report about two cases treated successfully with either doxycycline and tacrolimus or gabapentine.
Conclusion:
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.
