What to do if a boy has an itchy scrotum

Men are known as the strongest, but this does not mean that men are not prone to diseases. Many men have experienced scrotal itching before, and even now are troubled by this condition. Men with scrotal itching must find the cause in time and take certain effective measures to solve it actively, otherwise it may become more and more serious. So what is the cause of men's scrotal itching?

Causes of scrotal itching

1. It is common among energetic workers, especially in summer, when the private parts have high temperature, sweat a lot, are humid and cold, and have poor air permeability. The scrotal skin is soaked in sweat and rubbed by underwear, causing itching. Too tight jeans and polyester underwear that are not moisture-absorbent and have poor air permeability can also cause this condition.

2. Vitamin B22 deficiency can cause scrotitis. The scrotum will show changes such as erythema, dryness, scaling, papules and scars, accompanied by itching. In addition, angular cheilitis, glossitis and oral ulcers may also occur.

3. Scrotitis caused by bacteria, such as trichomonal scrotitis and tinea cruris invading the scrotum, can cause scrotal itching.

4. Neurodermatitis and eczema in the scrotum can cause itching. Generally speaking, general scrotal itching is not a sexually transmitted disease. If there is no history of sexual promiscuity, genital ulcers or microbial proliferation, urethral discharge, etc., there is no need to worry about contracting a sexually transmitted disease.
