Why do I have white hair on my scrotum?

As a relatively private part, the scrotum is more prone to various diseases. Some people find that white hair grows on their scrotum. So what is the reason for the white hair on the scrotum? It is likely to be caused by scrotal dermatitis, scrotal eczema, etc. So what is the specific cause? You need to analyze it based on your own symptoms. If necessary, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment to prevent misunderstanding of the disease.

1. Scrotal dermatitis - the cause may be related to the lack of B vitamins in the diet. Its symptoms include skin flushing, exudation, peeling, and even blisters, which are painful and itchy. The main preventive measures are to eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, supplement vitamins B2, B6 and other nutrients, and keep the skin of the affected area clean after the onset of the disease, and apply some zinc oxide paste.

2. Scrotal eczema - mainly caused by sweat and dirt stimulation. It manifests as redness, swelling, blisters, exudation, scabs, and even thickening and roughness, which is extremely itchy. The treatment method is to take antihistamines such as promethazine orally, and apply skin-softening ointment, triamcinolone urea ointment, etc. to the affected area after cleaning, 1-2 times a day.

3. Simple lichen scrotum - that is, neurodermatitis of the scrotal area. Its characteristics are itching, thickening and coarsening of the skin, but no permeation of fluid. The course of the disease is often long and recurrent and difficult to heal. The treatment method is similar to that of scrotal eczema, which is to take anti-allergic drugs such as prodrugs and diphenhydramine orally, and apply Fuqingsong and Sanjiu Piyanping ointments to the affected area 1-2 times a day.

4. Scrotal ringworm - a skin disease caused by fungal infection, often associated with ringworms in other parts of the patient's skin. The skin of the affected scrotum is flushed, with papules or blisters, followed by scaling, and the affected area often has ring-shaped damage and is very itchy. The method of prevention and treatment is to apply anti-ringworm ointments such as Dakning Cream, Pikangwang and Kemeiruo Ointment, New Foot Ointment, etc. (Strongly irritating ringworm ointments should not be used) to the affected area, and at the same time treat ringworms in other parts of the body such as hand ringworm, foot ringworm, and thigh ringworm, etc., to prevent reinfection after recovery.

5. Riboflavin deficiency scrotitis - more common in men who eat refined white rice and white flour all year round or have long-term diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite or picky eating. The main symptoms are: the scrotum is slightly red and shiny at first, and then light red patches with scales on both sides of the scrotum appear. Soon, multiple flat papules the size of soybeans may appear, with varying degrees of itching, often accompanied by angular cheilitis and glossitis. Taking riboflavin tablets can significantly improve the symptoms.

After suffering from the "unspeakable" scrotal skin disease, you should eliminate tension and never compare it with sexually transmitted diseases to avoid adding worries and fears.
