What causes male genital itching?

When it comes to vulvar itching, many men think it only affects women and they don't think it will happen to them. In fact, it is not the case. It is not only a female problem, but men also suffer from vulvar itching to varying degrees. At this point, everyone may have some doubts in their hearts. So let me tell you why men suffer from vulvar itching?

(l) Physical labor. Especially in winter, people who engage in physical labor are prone to itching due to the dampness and poor ventilation of the genitals, the scrotal skin being stained by sweat, and the friction of underwear. Wearing too tight jeans or nylon underwear that is not absorbent and breathable may also cause this condition.

(2) Riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency can lead to scrotitis. The scrotum may 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) Scrotal inflammation caused by fungi, such as candidal scrotal inflammation and tinea cruris involving the scrotum, can cause scrotal itching. Editor's recommendation: Protect your testicles while sleeping.

(4) Neurodermatitis and eczema in the scrotum will cause itching. 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 it.

People who suffer from scrotal itching should wear loose cotton underwear to keep the genitals ventilated and the scrotum dry. In addition, they should pay attention to local hygiene and wash the genitals every day. If the itching is obvious, do not scratch it with your hands or boil it with boiling water. When the scrotum becomes red, swollen, has a rash, or has broken skin, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

People with vulvar itching will feel embarrassed in many public places because they can't help scratching. Therefore, early treatment can relieve the condition and bring convenience to life and reduce trouble. In addition, it is also important to keep the vulva ventilated and dry, pay attention to hygiene, and develop good living habits.
