White particles in the pores of the scrotum

The epidermis of the scrotum has many pores like the skin of the body, which are used to sweat and regulate the body temperature. However, most men will find white particles on the outer epidermis of the scrotum, which are not painful or itchy. Although it may be just ordinary hair follicles or a kind of sebaceous gland dysplasia, it should not be taken lightly, because there are many reasons for the white particles in the pores of the scrotum. If the correct cause cannot be found, the right medicine cannot be prescribed. The following is a detailed introduction to the reasons for the white particles in the pores of the scrotum.

1. Ordinary hair follicles

There are many white particles on the scrotum, just like the hair follicles at the bottom of the sweat hair on the skin. This is normal. These are probably hair follicles, but they grow on the scrotum and often do not grow sweat hair. It is also possible that it is a kind of sebaceous gland ectopia, and these white particles are sebaceous glands. Both of the above situations do not require treatment. They will not affect your sex life and sexual ability, let alone your fertility.

2. Peel

Psoriasis is mainly transmitted through public supplies and unhygienic personal habits, and is closely related to the hygiene of public places such as hotels, bathhouses, swimming pools, and barbershops. The clinical characteristics of "psoriasis" are: multiple layers of silvery white dry scales appear repeatedly on the erythema, which are easily scraped off, revealing a light red translucent film underneath. If it is gently scraped, dew-like bleeding can be seen, which are called "film phenomenon" and "dew drop phenomenon" respectively.

3. Folliculitis

Folliculitis refers to a purulent inflammation caused by staphylococci invading the hair follicles. Traditional Chinese medicine has different names for it according to the site and shape of the disease. This disease is prone to occur on the head, neck, buttocks, perianal area or other parts of the body, and has a tendency to relapse. It often occurs in multiple places, is stubborn in nature, and is difficult to cure. This disease is a purulent inflammation caused by bacterial infection of the entire hair follicle. It starts as a red papule, which gradually evolves into papular pustules, which are isolated and scattered, and are slightly painful. In adults, it mainly occurs in hairy areas, and in children, it is prone to occur on the head. The rash can sometimes merge with each other, and small patches of alopecia may remain after healing.

4. Scrotal eczema

Scrotal eczema is a common type of eczema, which is limited to the scrotal skin, sometimes extending to the anus, and rarely to the penis. This disease is severely itchy, the rash changes polymorphically, and it is easy to relapse. To achieve the goal of radical cure, personal hygiene needs to be paid attention to, and appropriate medications should be chosen to persist in treatment and avoid scratching.
