The causes of scrotal ulcers are actually these four points

The incidence of scrotal ulcer is very high among men, and its occurrence seriously affects the sex life of male friends. So what causes the symptoms of scrotal ulcer in men? In fact, there are four factors. The first one is wearing tight jeans or nylon underwear, which are not absorbent and breathable.

1. Causes of scrotal ulcer

(1) It is more common in people who do manual labor, especially in the summer, when the genitals are hot, sweaty, humid, and poorly ventilated. The scrotal skin is stained by sweat and rubbed by underwear, causing itching. Wearing tight jeans or non-absorbent, non-breathable nylon underwear can also cause this condition.

(2) Riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency can lead to scrotitis. The scrotum will show changes such as erythema, dryness, scaling, papules and scabs, accompanied by itching. At the same time, angular cheilitis, glossitis and oral ulcers may also occur.

(3) Scrotitis caused by fungi, such as candidal scrotitis and tinea cruris involving the scrotum, can cause scrotal itching.

(4) Neurodermatitis and eczema in the scrotum can cause itching. In summary, general scrotal itching is not a sexually transmitted disease. As long as there is no history of sexual promiscuity, genital ulcers or growths, urethral discharge, etc., there is no need to worry about contracting a sexually transmitted disease.

People with scrotal itching should wear loose cotton underwear and outer pants to allow ventilation of the genitals and keep the scrotum dry. Pay attention to local hygiene and wash it every day. If the itching is obvious, do not scratch it and do not boil it with boiling water. If various local damages occur, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

2. Treatment of scrotal ulcer

Because this disease is not tinea, it cannot be treated as tinea. Scratching, rubbing, rubbing, and washing with hot water, soap, salt water, and alkaline water are not suitable for use. It is also not suitable to use iodine, tinea medicine, garlic and other irritants. As long as you can ensure that you do not scratch or irritate the skin, many patients can get better quickly. This disease is related to emotions. Keeping a good mood, getting enough rest, and having confidence in the victory over the disease are also key links.

In terms of diet, you should avoid spicy foods, such as onions, ginger, garlic, etc. For drug treatment, cold compress is the main treatment in the acute stage. You can use about 3000 ml of clean water each time without adding any medicine, or add 3 grams of alum. Or use 10% phellodendron solution or 30 grams of dandelion and 15 grams of wild chrysanthemum to boil the soup and apply it to the wet compress after it cools down. If there is infection, add 1 gram of chlorhexidine or 0.1 gram of potassium permanganate and add 3000 ml of clean water. These methods are very effective for scrotal itching and exudation.
