Itching of the skin at the base of the penis

The reproductive system is very important to men's health because it controls the male reproductive system, including the body's organs and normal blood circulation. When the skin at the base of the penis becomes itchy, the first thing to do is to understand the factors that cause the itching, which generally include skin inflammation, bacterial infection, pubic lice and other diseases.

The area between the male glans and foreskin often forms an environment suitable for bacteria to survive for various reasons. If it is not cleaned in time, the bacteria are likely to cause inflammation. When the penis is slightly injured, infection is more likely to occur. Penile itching brings great inconvenience to the patient's life, and of course it will affect the health of men. Immediate examination and treatment is the correct approach.

What is the cause of penile itching? The causes of penile itching are complicated, including internal factors and external factors. People with allergic constitutions, people with long-term mental tension, and people with large emotional fluctuations are prone to penile itching; in addition, people with some diseases, such as chronic digestive system diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine disorders, and metabolic disorders, are also affected by external factors.

1. Contact dermatitis: A small number of men with allergic constitutions may develop dermatitis reactions such as erythema and papules on the skin in contact with the underwear, causing itching, because the clothes are close to the perineal skin and the area is easily soaked by sweat.

2. Balanitis: Most men with excessive foreskin or phimosis suffer from chronic inflammatory reactions due to the accumulation of smegma in the coronal sulcus of the foreskin, and there is often a local itchy feeling.

4. Tinea cruris and tinea glutealis: Men with obese and sweaty physiques are prone to fungal growth and reproduction due to their sweaty and moist vulva, which can lead to tinea cruris and tinea glutealis. The symptoms are ring-shaped red papules at the base of the thigh or buttocks, which often cause scaling and itching.

The above gives you a detailed introduction to the causes of penile itching. Many causes are caused by genital infections, some are caused by glans inflammation, and some are caused by pubic lice. In daily life, you must pay attention to personal private hygiene to prevent penile itching.
