Scrotal dandruff pictures

Scrotal dandruff refers to the shedding of white scales from the male reproductive organs. If not treated, the serious consequences of this condition will gradually expand, affecting the man's sexual life and even passing the virus to his immediate family. Let's take a look at the causes of scrotal dandruff.

What is scrotal dandruff?

(1) It is common among energetic workers, especially in summer, when the private parts are hot, sweat a lot, and are humid and cold, with poor air permeability. The scrotal skin is soaked in sweat and rubbed by underwear, causing itching. Too tight jeans and polyester underwear that are not moisture-absorbent and breathable can also cause this condition.

(2) Vitamin B2 (vitamin B22) deficiency can cause scrotitis. The scrotum will show changes such as erythema, dryness, scaling, papules and scars, accompanied by itching. In addition, angular cheilitis, glossitis and oral ulcers may also occur.

(3) Scrotitis caused by bacteria, such as trichomonal scrotitis and tinea cruris invading the scrotum, can cause scrotal itching.

(4) Neurodermatitis and eczema in the scrotum can cause itching. Generally speaking, general scrotal itching is not a sexually transmitted disease. If there is no history of sexual promiscuity, genital ulcers or microbial growths, urethral discharge, etc., there is no need to worry about contracting a sexually transmitted disease.

Scrotal dandruff is common among hardworking people. Therefore, people who work in complex jobs should pay attention to their health. In the hot summer, they should pay attention to daily environmental hygiene, take a bath and change clothes frequently, drink plenty of water, exercise more, and ensure adequate sleep quality.
