What are genital skin diseases?

Diseases are inevitable for people. This is a normal phenomenon in nature. Any disease takes advantage of the weakness of the body. It is impossible to get sick when there is no defect in the human body. Therefore, people who are sick usually have problems with their immune system. There are many types of diseases. Skin diseases are one of the most common diseases. The harm varies. Genital skin diseases have a greater impact on people. Let's take a look at the genital skin diseases.

1. Vulvar pruritus. It is a disease with only itching but no primary damage: itching of the scrotum or vulva. Itching all over the body, without scabies, can cause itching, local itching, repeated scratching, and lichenification.

2. Vulvar eczema. It is an inflammatory reactive skin disease caused by a variety of internal and external factors, with erythema, papules, scaling and itching as the main clinical manifestations. Because the genital skin is thin and tender, coupled with moisture and friction, it is easy to form erosive surfaces; the chronic stage is manifested as infiltrative patches, hypertrophy, rough surface, clear boundaries, and may be accompanied by pigmentation or hypopigmentation.

3. Fixed drug eruption. Any drug can cause allergies. Fixed drug eruption is very common. Purple-red patches of varying sizes can be seen in the coronal sulcus of the glans penis, with small blisters in the center. Ulcers, erosions, and exudates appear when the blisters break. In severe cases, it can turn into severe erythema multiforme or blistered epidermolysis drug eruption.

4. Folliculitis. A purulent inflammation that occurs in the entire hair follicle. It often occurs in the hair clusters of men and women's genitals. It is a superficial pus-filled abscess centered on the hair follicles, surrounded by red halos, and appears in batches, with itching and pain.

There are many types of genital skin diseases. People should be vigilant when they find itching or bumps on their genitals, because this phenomenon is often a sign of a smaller skin disease and needs to be taken seriously. If you are confused, you can go to the hospital for a detailed examination to find the cause and treat it in time.
