What about itching? Actually, it is caused by some diseases.

1. Allergic dermatitis

Some men will experience allergic reactions in their genitals after wearing synthetic pants, using condoms or contraceptive creams. They will experience intermittent severe itching and feel very uncomfortable. When this happens, you should stop using the relevant items immediately and avoid using them in the future. You can also use camphor ointment, skin-softening ointment, etc.

Pubic lice are one of the sexually transmitted diseases. Pubic lice use their mouthparts to pierce the skin and suck blood in the area where they parasitize. After sucking blood, the mouthparts remain in the skin, so the area is painful and itchy. During treatment, apply the alcohol extract of the Chinese medicine Stemona officinalis locally. Generally, it will be cured after 1 week of application. At the same time, sexual life should be stopped, and underwear, bed sheets, and quilts should be boiled frequently.

3. Scrotal scabies

Due to scabies infection, dark red nodules the size of soybeans appear on the scrotal skin, which are higher than the skin surface. The surface is smooth, the edges are clear, and the local itching is very severe. The course of the disease can last for several months. During treatment, 5% sulfur cream and triamcinolone ointment can be applied alternately to the affected area, 2-4 times a day, and it usually heals after 7 days.

4. Tinea groin

It is more common on the buttocks and the inner upper thigh, but it also often invades the penis. It starts as a small papule that is very itchy, and then expands to form a ring-shaped protrusion with an uneven circular or polymorphic lesion in the center, accompanied by desquamation. During treatment, do not use drugs that are too irritating. Generally, clotrimazole or Daknin ointment can be used externally.

5. Candidal balanitis

The method is to pour the detergent into a bowl and shake it evenly, and use a soft brush to apply the medicine to the affected area, once every 1-2 hours.
