The penis skin is itchy. Could it be balanitis?

Some teenagers or children may feel that the epidermis of the penis is very itchy, which is actually a manifestation of balanitis. The reason why this disease occurs is that such people often have smegma between the foreskin and the glans penis, and a large number of bacteria grow. After a large number of bacteria multiply, it is easy to form inflammation, and then it will start to make people feel itchy. Therefore, people who feel that the epidermis of the penis is very itchy must pay attention to genital hygiene. It is best to wash the lower body every day. When washing, the foreskin should be turned over for key cleaning. As long as there is no soil for bacteria to grow, inflammation will not occur.

Of course, the itching of the penis skin may also be caused by some young people who have strong sexual desires. It is common for them to masturbate without a sexual partner. If the masturbation is rough, it will cause foreskin damage. Due to the high excitement during masturbation, the damage is relatively small and may not be easy to detect. However, the damage on the foreskin is easily contaminated by bacteria, thus inducing balanitis.

Or because of some glans penis diseases, some patients buy drugs on their own and simply apply them. Or wash externally, it is common that the concentration of potassium permanganate solution is too high to cause dermatitis, and some folks with genital warts use toothpaste, alcohol, and some unnamed health products and drugs bought in pharmacies. Most of these drugs are highly corrosive and cause drug-induced dermatitis.

It is completely preventable that the epidermis of the penis is very itchy. You should pay more attention to cleanliness and maintain good hygiene. If the foreskin is too long or there is phimosis, it is best to undergo circumcision. Local hygiene needs more attention, and the foreskin should be cleaned frequently. If the epidermis of the penis is very itchy and erosion or ulceration has occurred, you should actively seek treatment, and it is best not to have sex during the treatment period to avoid transmitting pathogens to your sexual partner.
