Itching on both sides of the scrotum and inner thighs

In life, some friends have unhealthy or irregular lifestyles, which can lead to the invasion of some viruses or bacteria. Moreover, for some male friends, sometimes these irregular lives often lead to itching on both sides of the inner thigh and scrotum. When this problem occurs, we will have some concerns. So let's take a look at what is the itching on both sides of the inner thigh and scrotum!

Fungal infection caused by pathogenic fungi invading the skin of the inner thigh. It is transmitted through direct or indirect skin contact. Many doctors recommend the use of non-hormonal antiseptic drugs for treatment: first apply bifenazol solution to the affected area, then apply naftifine ketoconazole cream on the outside. The drug can reach the deep lesions from the outside to the inside, which is safe and has no side effects. When applying the ointment, it does not need to be too thick, a thin layer is enough, and it will heal after continuous application for 2-3 weeks.

All annular or semi-annular skin lesions caused by pathogenic fungi invading the inner side of the groin are collectively called tinea femoris, which is actually a special type of tinea corporis in the pubic and femoral area.

5. Causes

It is often caused by Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton barbae, and Trichophyton rubrum. Sometimes, Candida albicans also invades the groin area and presents as erythematous and scaly patches with papules and urticaria on the edges.

This disease is prone to occur in warm and humid seasons, especially men with excessive sweating. Special occupations such as car drivers and people who sit for long periods of time are also prone to the disease.

VI. Clinical manifestations

It often occurs on the skin of the thigh opposite the scrotum, on one or both sides, and is mostly annular or semi-annular patches. Initially, a small patch of erythema appears on the inner side of the upper thigh, with scaling on it, and gradually expands and spreads to the surrounding area, with clear boundaries, papules, blisters, scabs, and itching on it. The central part can heal on its own, with pigmentation or scaling. Over time, the local skin will become infiltrated and thickened, often with itching. In severe cases, it often expands to the inner side of the thigh, perineum or around the anus, and its lower edge is mostly clear. Sometimes it can also affect the scrotum, the root of the penis, etc.

VII. Diagnosis

The diagnosis can be confirmed based on clinical manifestations, morphology of skin lesions and mycological examination.

It should be distinguished from erythritis, seborrheic dermatitis, proliferative acne, erosive psoriasis, etc.

IX. Treatment

Obese people should take a bath frequently and apply powder, etc.

Treatment of tinea corporis. Since the skin of the pubic region is relatively delicate, care should be taken not to use overly irritating lotions to avoid irritating the skin. Generally, compound resorcinol lotion or 1% econazole or clotrimazole cream can be used. 2% miconazole, bifonazole, ketoconazole, sertaconazole, butenafine, and terbinafine cream can also be used.

Oral griseofulvin has a certain effect, but it is easy to relapse after stopping the drug, so it is not suitable for use. Fluconazole, itraconazole, terbinafine, etc. can be used for a short period of time.
