What is itching under the scrotum?

In daily life, many men will find that their scrotum is itchy, which is something that men hate. They want to find out why it is itchy under the scrotum? And what methods can be used to relieve it? Today, there are authoritative experts in men's medicine here, so let's listen to their detailed explanation! I hope that through the editor's introduction, everyone's confusion and doubts can be solved.

Scrotal itching is a very common symptom, especially in young men. Generally speaking, it may have the following reasons:

(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.

After the male specialists shared with everyone, now everyone should have a certain understanding of what itching under the scrotum is. I hope every man will keep these in mind. Once the symptoms of itching appear, find the cause immediately and receive targeted treatment. After a period of systematic treatment, the itching will definitely disappear.
