Itching of the skin around the penis

Men sometimes feel that their penis is itchy, which is embarrassing if they are in a public place. It is not right to scratch it or not to scratch it. However, many men do not know why their penis is itchy and do not know how to treat it. So let's take a look at the causes of penis itching.

5 reasons why men's penis itches:

Reason 1: Some men in China have seasonal allergies. When wearing underwear made of synthetic fiber materials, men with this kind of physical condition will immediately experience penile itching. Because underwear is close to the male genitals, it is easy to get wet by sweat, which will immediately cause dermatitis reactions such as erythema and papules on the male penis and cause itching.

Reason 2: If a man has a long foreskin, he does not pay attention to the local environmental hygiene in his daily life. If he does not clean it in time, there will be stains between the glans penis and the foreskin, which is the appearance of urine scale. If the urine scale gradually accumulates, it will immediately irritate the foreskin and mucous membrane of the man's part and cause inflammation, resulting in penile itching.

Reason 3: Pubic lice in men's private parts can also cause penile itching. This is because pubic lice have a very unique hook-shaped claw, which usually grabs the skin of the pubic area and anal hair of men. The bite of pubic lice and the irritation of toxins in their saliva can cause itching of the skin, folliculitis and eczema-like changes in men's parts.

Reason 4: Men with scrotal eczema may also experience penile itching. In fact, the clinical symptoms of scrotal eczema are redness, swelling, or secondary exudate and scaling of the scrotal skin. Due to severe itching, the scrotal skin may become thickened and mossy after scratching.

Reason 5: If a man is obese, his private parts are damp and sweaty, which can easily lead to bacterial growth in the private parts, causing tinea cruris or tinea glutealis. This type of symptom is usually a ring-shaped red papule on the inner thigh or buttocks of a man, which often has symptoms of scaling and itching.

Penile itching harms men:

Harm 1: When men notice itching in their genitals, they don't pay attention to it. Then, when the disease develops to the later stage, it will immediately cause prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, and male ejaculatory duct and other body organ diseases. Therefore, if the disease is not treated in time, it will cause cross-infection, which has a great impact on men's reproductive health.

Injury 2: If the male genitals are itchy, it means that the male genitals have been eroded by inflammation. During this period, the sensitive nerves of the male genitals are in a critical period, which makes it very easy for men to have premature ejaculation during sexual intercourse. The cause of premature ejaculation occurs. This has a more serious impact on the patient's sexual life and also severely hits the man's vanity.

Harm 3: Because the male penis has been exposed to inflammation and stimulation for a long time, the sperm in the male reproductive system will be stimulated immediately. In addition, the hidden inflammatory secretions in the foreskin will enter the vagina along with the semen after the male sexual intercourse operation, which greatly reduces the quality of semen and continues to affect the ovum, resulting in male infertility.

In fact, there are many reasons for men to have penile itching. Men should not seek medical treatment without confirming the cause of the disease. Going to a small clinic or not seeking treatment on their own will not only fail to cure the symptoms, but will also continue to aggravate the condition and create difficulties for subsequent treatment. Therefore, patients must go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible to diagnose the itchy penis. Find the cause of the symptoms and then carry out comprehensive treatment.

Based on the detailed introduction above, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding. If you also notice penile itching, don't be indifferent or avoid seeing a doctor. You should go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations in time. After finding out the cause of the disease, you can use medication to cure the disease.
