Scrotal Eczema

How Chinese medicine treats scrotal eczema through its one core pattern, and the points for it. Distinct from this site's Eczema and Itchy Skin pages. Acupuncture only — no herbs.

This page is educational, for practitioners and students — it is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace a proper in-person assessment. Scrotal skin changes that are rapidly spreading, ulcerated, or accompanied by fever need prompt medical assessment.

General Acupuncture Points

Acupuncture points traditionally used for scrotal eczema — 3 key points, used across the patterns below rather than tied to just one.

Point	Key action
SP-6	Strengthens the Spleen. Resolves Dampness. Promotes the function of the Liver and the smooth flow of Liver-Qi.
SP-9	Regulates the Spleen. Resolves Dampness. Opens the Water passages.
LIV-3	Subdues Liver-Yang. Extinguishes interior Wind. Promotes the smooth flow of Liver-Qi.
