What is itching on both sides of the penis?

Some men who work in special professions sit in front of computers for a long time and have no time to exercise, which will lead to some male diseases. For example, itching on both sides of the penis is a common phenomenon. Nowadays, the number of men suffering from this disease is increasing. Many people do not pay enough attention to this disease. Here is an introduction to this disease.

In this case, we should consider tinea cruris caused by fungal infection. To make a clear diagnosis of tinea cruris, first of all, we should find an experienced specialist to diagnose and treat. Specialists can easily make a clear diagnosis based on medical history, symptoms, physical signs and laboratory tests. Tinea cruris is a fungal infection. Generally speaking, a direct microscopic examination of the shavings is to take a small piece of shavings from the edge of the skin injury, place it on a glass slide, drop a little potassium hydroxide solution to dissolve the keratin, and then put it under a microscope to observe whether there are fungal hyphae. Of course, if conditions permit, a more clear diagnosis can be made based on fungal culture.

treatment:

Mainly use external medication. After cleaning the affected area, apply compound benzoic acid ointment, clotrimazole cream, 2% miconazole cream or 1% econazole cream twice a day for 2 to 4 weeks. Because the skin on the abdomen is tender, avoid using irritating external anti-tinea drugs. For stubborn cases with extensive skin damage, severe inflammation and poor treatment effect, consider taking griseofulvin tablets orally, 0.6 grams per day for 2 to 4 weeks, or ketoconazole tablets, 0.2 grams per day for 4 to 8 weeks.

For Chinese medicine treatment, 5% sulfur ointment can be applied externally, twice a day for 2 to 4 weeks.

The above is an explanation of why the sides of the penis are itchy, especially in a sensitive season like summer, where bacteria spread quickly. If not treated in time, the severity of the condition will greatly increase. Therefore, in order to have a healthier body, early treatment is needed.
