What should I do if my scrotum peels and itches?

Nowadays, many little boys like to follow the trend and wear jeans and leather pants in summer. These pants can cause great damage to their reproductive organs. The scrotum should have a ventilated environment. If it is in a non-ventilated environment for a long time, it may cause harm to the body, such as scrotal peeling and itching.

① The living and working environment is humid, and the air humidity is relatively high;

②External stimulation, cold or hot, excessive sweating, excessive scratching, etc.;

③ Tight underwear, friction with foreign objects, and wearing synthetic underwear can induce scrotal eczema;

Scrotal eczema can also be acquired through sexual transmission. Clinically, 20% of scrotal eczema patients are infected through unhealthy sexual transmission.

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 mesh scrotal pocket underwear 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 or boil it with boiling water. If various local damages occur, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

In daily life, many teenagers encounter itchy scrotum peeling. In daily life, the scrotum is not moist when the weather is too hot, and when sweating, it is affected by wearing bad pants, which causes scrotum peeling. So friends should pay more attention to it.
