Why does my scrotum only itch at night?

The key symptom of scrotal eczema is itching, and the itching is more severe at night, which makes many friends confused. In fact, when this kind of symptom occurs, you need to pay attention. There are many reasons for this condition, and you must find the cause and treat it with medicine. So why does scrotal eczema itch at night?

Nighttime sensitive skin

During sleep, patients with scrotal eczema have less exercise, less external influences, and their own sensitivity increases, making them more sensitive to itching. Therefore, eczema is very itchy at night.

Sympathetic nerve stimulation

When a person enters a dormant state, the sympathetic nervous system is usually in an excited state, while the central nervous system is in an inhibited state. At this time, eczema patients will be more sensitive to itching, so scrotal eczema will feel very itchy at night.

Not caused by scratching alone

Patients with scrotal eczema will inevitably experience itching when sleeping at night. If patients do not scratch their skin independently during sleep, it will only make the itching worse. What to do - massage to relieve it If your skin itches at night, you can use massage to divert your attention before going to bed. You can also try to apply a medical ice pack to the itchy area, which can shrink the blood vessels and achieve the purpose of relieving itching.

At night, it is easy to be irritated by the silk quilt residue

Patients with scrotal eczema are affected by the debris of pillow cores, mattresses and other filling materials when they sleep. The debris on the mattress may enter the scrotal area and cause itching symptoms, and even aggravate the skin allergy reaction, causing the itching to worsen at night.

Weakened body functions

Scrotal eczema often itches at night, which may be due to the weakening of body functions at night, slower blood circulation, and lack of nutrients in the skin, which makes the skin drier and makes the scrotal eczema patients itchy at night. What to do - Skin hydration The skin temperature rises in the quilt, which inevitably causes dry and itchy skin. Therefore, pay attention to moisturizing before going to bed, which can effectively reduce the symptoms of skin itching. It is recommended to apply some gentle, non-irritating lotion or vegetable oil, which can achieve the actual effect of moisturizing and hydrating.
