What causes itching in men?

Men should also try to clean their genitals every day to ensure the health of their genitals and effectively prevent a series of male diseases. Especially for men who already have sex, it is very necessary to pay attention to the health of their genitals, so as to effectively avoid infectious sexual diseases. However, some men will obviously feel itchy in their genitals. At this time, only by understanding the causes of itchy genitals can we prescribe the right medicine.

1. If a boy has itching down there, it could be pruritus in the vulva, or it could be eczema or tinea cruris in the vulva. The causes of pruritus are quite complex. If the patient often stays up late or has an irregular schedule, it could induce pruritus. For eczema, it could also be caused by long periods of sitting or poor local hygiene, which can lead to sweating or sweat staining, which can cause eczema. After eczema is formed, it is due to local dermatitis that causes itch. Tinea cruris is mainly caused by local fungal infection, which eventually forms an inflammatory reaction, accompanied by some scaling, so the itching is more obvious.

2. Men's itching may be scrotal eczema, which is a common type of eczema. It is limited to the scrotal skin, sometimes extending to the anus, and a few can extend to the penis. Scrotal eczema is more itchy, and the rash is often polymorphic and prone to recurrence. To achieve the goal of radical cure, you need to pay attention to personal hygiene, choose appropriate medicines, persist in treatment, and avoid scratching. Scrotal eczema can be treated in the following ways.

First, we need to strengthen the care of the scrotum. We need to avoid irritating the local area again. We should avoid scratching the local area as much as possible. We should not use hot water or soapy water to clean the local area, and we should not apply strong irritating drugs to the local area. It is especially important to note that hormone drugs should not be applied to the local area at will, as it is very easy to worsen or relapse the disease. We should avoid eating irritating foods, such as ginger, green onion, garlic, strong tea, coffee, alcohol, etc. Second, we can choose drug treatment, such as antihistamine drugs, such as cyproheptadine, loratadine, and cetirizine; for external use, we can choose some triamcinolone ointment, pevisone ointment, etc.
