What to do if your pubic hair is itchy? Causes and treatments of pubic hair itching in men

Many people think that only women may experience private itching, but in fact, more than 20%-30% of men suffer from vulvar itching to varying degrees. Especially in hot weather, men with well-developed sweat glands are prone to genital itching. What causes male pubic itching and how can it be treated?

1: Cause: Local dampness is a major cause of scrotal itching. The scrotum itself has glandular secretions, and sweating is frequent. If you often wear tight, synthetic underwear that is not good at absorbing sweat and is not ventilated, it is easy to cause scrotal itching. Having sex with a woman with candidal vaginitis can also cause scrotal itching due to the irritation of the male genitals by the inflammatory secretions. In addition, mental tension, stimulation from spicy food, friction, static electricity, and detergent residue on the underwear can also induce scrotal itching. Symptoms: The scrotal skin is itchy, but no rash can be seen. Because the patient always scratches, the skin in the affected area often thickens and becomes lichenified.

2: Response: Clean promptly after sexual intercourse; keep the area dry, and use talcum powder on the scrotum appropriately; wear cotton, sweat-absorbent underwear to help ventilation; use mild detergents, and use less soap and laundry detergent; relax your emotions, and use some nerve nourishing drugs such as vitamins B1, B2, and oryzanol; avoid washing with very hot water or using irritating drugs, and avoid eating spicy food to prevent the condition from worsening; try to scratch as little as possible, because it can lead to a vicious cycle, forming chronic simple lichen (i.e. neurodermatitis), which is more difficult to treat.

1: Cause: Candida infection is a fungal infection. Diabetic patients have high sugar content and poor resistance, which makes fungi easy to grow; chronic disease patients who often use immunosuppressants, anti-tumor drugs, and hormones have poor body resistance and are also difficult to resist fungal invasion; long-term use of antibiotics will cause flora imbalance, which is conducive to fungal reproduction; having sex with women with the disease may also cause infection. Symptoms: Itchy penis, red papules and white scaling. Response: Use antifungal drugs, either orally or externally.

1: Cause: It is related to the individual's eczema predisposition, so allergy is an important inducement, including underwear materials, dyes, shrimp, crab, beef, peanuts, alcohol, etc. in the diet, which can induce scrotal eczema. In addition, moisture, friction, mental and nervous factors and seasonal climate can induce or aggravate the disease. Symptoms: Limited to the scrotal skin, sometimes extending to the anus, and a few can extend to the penis. Severe itching. Rashes, erosions, and exudates can be seen.

2: Response: Eczema is related to inherited eczema, so 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. Therefore, do not clean too frequently, keep the water temperature low, use less detergent or use a mild and moisturizing detergent, and moisturize the skin immediately after washing to ensure that it will not cause skin allergies.

1: Cause: Scabies infection. The infection method is similar to that of pubic lice, and it can also be transmitted by shaking hands with the patient. Symptoms: Itching in the finger joints, wrists, lower abdomen and thighs. Small papules can be seen, typically arranged in pairs with blood crusts. Sometimes lead-gray, linear tunnels can be seen in the epidermis, and the worm body can be seen at the end of the tunnel. Tunnels can also be seen in the finger joints. The itching is more obvious at night. After a long time (about a month), red nodules will appear on the penis, glans, and scrotum, which are the size of mung beans, soybeans, or even fingers, and the itching is severe.

2: Response: Maintain good personal hygiene, wash bedding, clothing and other personal items with boiling water to kill insects. Use insecticides to kill insects. Generally, 20% sulfur paste can be applied to the whole body for three consecutive days, twice a day. People over 12 years old can also use "Scabies Treatment" to kill insects. First, apply it to the whole body below the neck, keep it for 24 hours, then take a shower, and repeat the application after a week. To completely cut off the source of infection, sexual partners need to be treated at the same time. If scabies develops into nodules, antiallergic drugs and corticosteroid ointments are required. However, scabies nodules are allergic reactions and are more difficult to treat.

It is caused by tinea cruris, pubic lice, etc. Only by understanding the symptoms can we find a way to deal with it.
