There are many reasons for itching at the base of the penis, among which reproductive system diseases and scrotal eczema are the most common, and it may also be caused by pubic lice. Since different causes have different symptoms, patients can analyze the cause through the initial symptoms. The specific symptoms are:

1. Duration of itching: analysis of whether it is long-term itching, intermittent itching or occasional itching;

2. External manifestations: whether the surface of the vagina feels damp, whether there is burning pain, whether there is peeling or flaking around the vagina;

3. Abnormal sensation: Is there any unusual smell in the vagina?

What diseases can cause itching at the base of the penis?

1. Scrotal eczema: Its symptoms include redness and swelling of the skin, blisters, exudation, scabs, and even thickening and roughness, which is extremely itchy.

2. Pubic lice: It is a parasite that lives on human hair. Itching is the main symptom, but the degree of itching varies from person to person. Itching occurs when pubic lice use their claws to pierce or pierce the skin, and when they bite and inject saliva.

3. Tinea femoris: Tinea femoris is usually spread to other parts of the body. It is usually not easy to directly infect the scrotum. It is mostly caused by the spread of tinea femoris. You can judge whether it is this situation based on whether the thighs and buttocks are peeling.

4. Small red spots on the glans are typical symptoms of balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma to irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause balanitis when the foreskin is too long or the foreskin is phimosis. The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is anti-inflammatory and sterilization. Generally, both internal and external treatments are used. Erythromycin and tetracycline are the first choice for the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular effusive balanitis. The first choice for the treatment of trichomonal balanitis is chloramphenicol. Trichostatin or itraconazole is often used to treat balanitis caused by Candida albicans.
