Why does a man feel itchy down there?

In life, not only women feel itchy down there, but men also feel itchy down there, especially for men with longer pubic hair, who often feel itchy in the scrotum and pubic hair area. Men's genital hygiene is as important as women's, and they both need to wash and change their underwear every day. When men feel itchy down there, it is likely due to allergies and damp heat. So what causes itching down there for men?

1Scrotal eczema

If it itches for a long time, it is more likely to be scrotal eczema. The patient may have a damp-heat and allergic constitution, which is prone to recurring attacks. It is best to seek medical attention in time.

Solution: After diagnosis, take oral Weiduqing capsules and loratadine tablets for treatment, combined with external use of pevisone cream or halometasone cream, and avoid spicy, greasy and other irritating foods.

2Skin allergies

Itching in your genitals may also be caused by skin allergies.

A small number of men with allergic constitutions may develop dermatitis reactions such as erythema and papules on the skin in contact with the underwear, which may cause itching, because the underwear is close to the skin and the area is easily soaked by sweat. Some men who use condoms may also develop contact dermatitis due to rubber allergy.

Solution: When this happens, stop using the allergenic items immediately.

3 Inflammation

It could be glansitis, which causes penile itching. It could also be folliculitis, which causes unbearable itching in the lower body.

Solution: Avoid spicy food, eat a low-fat diet, apply erythromycin ointment, take oral antibiotics, and wash frequently with hot water. Do not squeeze to prevent the spread of infection.

4. Foreskin is too long or phimosis

If the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, a large amount of skin scale may accumulate in the coronal sulcus of the foreskin, which may cause chronic and severe disease and easily lead to condyloma acuminatum. Therefore, there will be a local itching sensation. It may also cause bacterial infection to the spouse, so be careful.

Solution: Wash regularly and remove smegma in time, and perform circumcision if necessary.
