Why is itchy down there in men?

Men have many common problems. To solve men's problems, we must first understand the causes so that when we need to improve them, we will know how to proceed. Men are prone to prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia. These diseases have a great impact on the male body. After suffering from these diseases, men should seek timely treatment. But why do men have itching down there? Many people are not very clear about this.

What causes itching in men?

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.

2. Pubic lice

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.

After understanding the reasons for itching in men's genitals, when relieving itching in men's genitals, you should pay attention to men's diet and choose light food. At this time, men should not eat some complex foods, especially some high-fat and high-calorie foods. These foods are of no help in relieving their own diseases.
