Scrotal itching refers to abnormal sensations such as excessive sweating, dampness or coolness without any changes on the scrotal skin surface. Because the scrotum has a certain relaxation function and there are a large number of sweat glands in its skin, it can regulate the local temperature. If the sweat secreted by the scrotum cannot be dissipated in time, the local temperature rises, and the sweat secretion increases, the scrotum will always feel damp. A scrotum with excessive sweating and dampness for a long time is prone to inflammation and unbearable vulvar itching.

According to the development of the disease, scrotal itching can be divided into three stages: acute stage, subacute stage and chronic stage.
