What is the cause of itching around the male reproductive organ?

The clinical definition of male reproductive organs is actually quite broad, because the scrotum is a male reproductive organ, and the penis is also a male reproductive organ. So when itching symptoms appear near the male reproductive organs, it is still necessary to judge based on the specific location. It is possible that some pathological factors are involved. So what is the reason for itching near the male reproductive organs?

1. If the itching is located in the area covered by pubic hair, consider the presence of folliculitis or pubic lice. A physical examination is recommended. If the scrotal hair follicles are red and swollen, or painful and have flaky skin changes, consider the presence of folliculitis. If pubic lice are found in the pubic hair, pubic lice are present, and the pubic hair needs to be removed, and sulfur ointment or anti-infection ointment should be used to treat the symptoms.

2. If the skin around the scrotum is itchy, consider the presence of fungal changes in the skin. After fungal infection, local skin thickening or skin sclerosis accompanied by skin scaling and other changes may occur, and fungal testing is required for diagnosis. If local skin redness occurs, accompanied by lesion-like changes that are higher than the skin surface and raised, such as wheals or rashes, consider the presence of acute allergies, which generally produce obvious itching. Patients will clearly have been exposed to related allergens, and allergen testing is required for further diagnosis.

3. If the male genitals are a little itchy, it should be judged according to the specific location. If the epidermis is itchy, that is, the skin of the scrotum is itchy, this situation may be eczema or fungal infection. However, if the urethra is itchy, there may be an infection in the urethra. It is recommended to treat the symptoms and take medication. Also, pay attention to keeping the underwear clean and dry.
