Allergic dermatitis

A small number of men may experience an allergic reaction in their genitals after wearing synthetic pants, using condoms or contraceptive creams, which can cause intermittent severe itching and discomfort. If this happens, the relevant items should be stopped immediately and should be avoided in the future.

Pubic lice

Pubic lice infection is a sexually transmitted disease. Pubic lice use their mouthparts to pierce the skin and suck blood in the area where they parasitize. After sucking blood, the mouthparts are still inserted in the skin, so the area is painful and itchy. Scratching will not only cause the skin to break and form scabs, but may also cause infection. During treatment, sexual life should be suspended, and underwear, bed sheets, and quilts should be boiled frequently.

Scrotal scabies

Caused by infection with scabies mites, dark red nodules the size of soybeans appear on the scrotal skin, which are raised above the skin surface. The surface is smooth, the edges are clear, and the area is extremely itchy. The course of the disease can last for several months.

Tinea cruris

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, often with scaling. Do not use overly irritating drugs during treatment.

Candidal balanitis

Candidal glansitis is characterized by redness and inflammatory papules (or small red bumps in a dense array) on the glans penis, a little scaling or exudation, and sticky secretions or white pseudomembranous white membrane on the glans penis. Itching and burning sensations are felt. The patient is under great mental stress and is very frightened.

Scrotal eczema

Acute scrotal eczema is mainly manifested by diffuse redness, swelling, and severe itching of the scrotal skin, and many papules and blisters ranging in size from pinheads to rice grains may appear at the same time. Subacute scrotal eczema is a transformation of acute scrotal eczema, and is manifested by mild thickening and mild erosion of the scrotal skin, more scaling, little exudate, and still severe itching.
