What causes itching in the scrotum of a man?

The symptoms of scrotal itching in men are very common. In addition to some diseases, it may also be related to our living habits in many cases. However, if it is caused by a disease, we must focus on scientific treatment. For example, symptoms of scrotal moisture, allergic dermatitis, and femoral ulcers may affect the scrotal area and cause symptoms of scrotal moisture and itching.

1. Scrotal eczema is called scrotal wind in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a common skin disease in men. In the acute stage, the skin of the affected area is flushed, with small bumps, erosion, exudation and cracks, and itching. This symptom is caused by dampness and heat in the liver meridian. The treatment should be to clear away heat, dispel wind and dampness. In the chronic stage, it is often accompanied by blood deficiency and wind dryness. The treatment should be to nourish blood and dispel wind. For local external use, grind 1 egg white and 50 grams of mung beans into fine powder, mix into a paste and apply to the affected area, which has a good therapeutic effect.

2. Allergic dermatitis is often caused by wearing synthetic underwear, drugs or diet. Local lesions are mostly fixed erythema type and eczematoid dermatitis type. Itching is unbearable. For vaginal treatment, you can choose to use skin lightening ointment and 20% camphor ointment. Common oral antihistamines, calcium agents and hormones are used.

3. Scabies is caused by scabies and is often infected by close contact with scabies patients. It can occur on the penis, scrotum, and inner thigh. The rash is papules or herpes, and there are also bean-sized nodules, which are itchy and can be infected secondary to produce pustules and swelling. For treatment, wash with soapy water first, then apply 5% to 10% sulfur ointment. In addition, you can also use 3% boric acid solution for cold wet compresses. If it affects sleep, you can take diphenhydramine.

4. Tinea femoris is limited to the inner thigh near the genitals and buttocks. It is a fungal skin disease. The skin lesions are coin-shaped erythema with papules, blisters, scabs and other scaling around the edges. It often occurs in summer. Various anti-tinea lotions and hibiscus bark tincture can be used.

5. The hook-like legs of pubic lice are firmly attached to the pubic hair or the surface of the genitals to survive by sucking human blood. At the same time, they release poison from their saliva, causing itching. You can use 50 grams of Stemona japonica decocted in water and use soap to repeatedly wash the pubic hair.
