What causes male scrotal itching?

Scrotal itching is quite uncomfortable for male friends, so you should pay attention to understand the cause. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene and always wear tight clothes, you will easily show these adverse symptoms. Of course, if the scrotal itching is caused by Candida infection, you need to pay attention to treatment.

1. If the vaginal itching is caused by local reasons, you must pay attention to personal hygiene. Wash in time before and after sexual intercourse, keep the local area dry, and use talcum powder on the scrotum appropriately.

2. Wear cotton, sweat-absorbent underwear to help ventilation; use mild detergent, and use less soap and washing powder. Avoid washing with very hot water or using irritating drugs, and avoid eating spicy food to avoid worsening the condition.

3. Try to avoid scratching as much as possible, as it can lead to a vicious cycle and form chronic simple lichen planus, which is more difficult to treat.

4. If the scrotal itching is caused by Candida infection, itching of the penis, red papules and white scaling often occur. Men with this type of scrotal itching can use antifungal drugs, either orally or topically. It is best to use the drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

5. In addition, scrotal eczema in men can also cause genital itching. It is often caused by allergic constitution and external factors, and common symptoms include itching, rash, erosion, and exudation.

6. Since eczema is related to hereditary eczema, it is difficult to correct. The key is to remove or avoid factors that induce and aggravate eczema, such as relaxing, wearing cotton breathable underwear, scratching less, not eating foods that may cause allergies, and not washing the eczema area with hot water, let alone washing too frequently, because doing so can make the skin drier, further aggravate the damage to the skin barrier function, and make it more itchy.
