What is male vulvar itching?

In life, many male friends like to wear fiber clothes. In addition, because condoms and other related personal care products are not well-fitted, they may cause vulvar itching and even infection. Some patients with allergic dermatitis, vaginal warts, and hemorrhoids can get effective treatment.

Men with genital itching should be careful to prevent the following six diseases:

Allergic dermatitis

A small number of men may experience an allergic reaction in their genitals after wearing synthetic pants, using condoms or contraceptive creams, which can cause intermittent severe itching and discomfort. If this happens, the relevant items should be stopped immediately and should be avoided in the future.

In addition, camphor ointment and skin-softening ointment can be used for external application.

Pubic lice

Pubic lice infection is a sexually transmitted disease. Pubic lice use their mouthparts to pierce the skin and suck blood in the area where they parasitize. After sucking blood, the mouthparts are still inserted in the skin, so the area is painful and itchy. Scratching will not only cause the skin to break and form scabs, but may also cause infection. During treatment, apply the Chinese medicine Stemona alcohol extract (soak 30 grams of Stemona in 100 ml of 75% alcohol). Generally, it will take 1 week to heal. Sexual activity should be suspended, and underwear, bed sheets, and quilts should be boiled frequently.

Scrotal scabies

Caused by infection with scabies mites, dark red nodules the size of soybeans appear on the scrotal skin, which are higher than the skin surface. The surface is smooth, the edges are clear, and the area is extremely itchy. The course of the disease can last for several months. It can be treated by alternating application of 5% sulfur cream and triamcinolone ointment 2 to 4 times a day.

Tinea cruris

It is more common on the buttocks and the inner upper thigh, but it also often invades the penis. It starts as a small papule that is very itchy, and then expands to form a ring-shaped protrusion with an uneven circular or polymorphic lesion in the center, often with scaling. Do not use overly irritating drugs during treatment. Generally, clotrimazole or Daknin ointment can be used externally.

Candidal balanitis

Dry and flaky penis foreskin or erythematous scaly rash, itching. Zinc chloride mixed with water can be used to make detergent to relieve itching. The method is to pour the detergent into a bowl and shake it evenly, and then use a soft brush to apply the medicine to the affected area, once every 1 to 2 hours.
