What is scrotal peeling?

Scrotal peeling is a common disease among men. Because it involves private parts, it sounds unfamiliar to everyone. In fact, it is a very common disease. It’s just that we don’t understand the cause and treatment of this disease. Moreover, this disease involves private parts, and it is difficult for people to talk about it in public. Therefore, we feel unfamiliar with it and feel that we have never heard of this disease.

Itching and peeling of the male scrotum often affects the entire scrotum, and the affected area is extremely itchy. The course of the disease is long-lasting, recurrent, and cannot be cured despite repeated treatments. In the acute stage, there may be various changes such as papules, blisters, pustules, erosions, exudation, and scabs. Itching and peeling of the scrotum is caused by a variety of internal and external factors. In the acute stage, it is mainly characterized by scrotal papules, erosions, and exudation, and in the chronic stage, it is an itchy skin disease characterized by epidermal hypertrophy and lichenification. The incidence of scrotal eczema is higher in summer and autumn. In the chronic stage, it manifests as deepening of the skin grooves, hypertrophy of the skin, and rough leathery scrotal skin. If it is delayed or not treated properly, the acute and chronic stages may change mutually, and the course of the disease will also last for many years.

Avoid scratching, rubbing, rubbing, or washing the scrotum when it itches and peels.

Hot water, soap, salt water, alkaline water, etc., as well as iodine, tinea medicine, garlic and other irritants should not be used externally. In fact, as long as male friends can ensure that they do not scratch or irritate the skin, many conditions can gradually improve.

In addition, scrotal itching and peeling is a very common symptom, especially in young men. Generally speaking, there may be the following reasons:

1. Riboflavin deficiency may lead to scrotitis. The scrotum will show changes such as erythema, dryness, scaling, papules and scabs, accompanied by itching.

2. Neurodermatitis, eczema, etc. in the scrotum area can cause itching.

3. It is more common in physical laborers, especially in summer, when the genitals are hot, sweaty, humid, and poorly ventilated. The scrotal skin is stained by sweat and rubbed by underwear, causing itching and peeling of the scrotum. Wearing tight jeans or non-absorbent and non-breathable nylon underwear can cause this.

4. Scrotitis caused by fungi, such as candidal scrotitis and tinea cruris involving the scrotum, can cause itching and peeling of the scrotum.

The above is what causes scrotal peeling. We all understand the causes and treatments of this disease. We know that scrotal peeling is not a contagious disease, but is generally caused by disease. As long as male friends pay attention to the hygiene of their reproductive organs and do not scratch when they feel itchy, they can avoid the phenomenon of scrotal peeling.
