Why is my thigh itchy?

There are many diseases in life, and the most troublesome ones are tricky skin diseases, especially skin diseases that appear in people's more private parts. Thigh itching is a common skin disease. Many people do not know what causes this condition after they develop this disease. So, what causes itchy thighs?

First, why is the thigh itchy? Tinea cruris; Tinea cruris is a fungus with the same cause as athlete's foot; it usually grows at the base of the thigh, and partially spreads to the scrotum; it manifests as island-like spots with clear boundaries and clear edges, and gets better in the middle - it grows from small to large, slowly spreading from the middle to the surrounding areas; most of these people have severe athlete's foot, or onychomycosis; or their family members have athlete's foot, etc., but underwear and socks are washed together, which can be contagious; this is relatively simple, and it can be cured by applying some antifungal drugs such as terbinafine hydrochloride.

Second, eczema; this type is mostly caused by improper treatment of tinea cruris and other diseases, and is also related to the sensitivity of the skin itself; the scrotum is a hard-hit area for eczema, and is more serious than the legs, so it is clinically called scrotal eczema; scrotal eczema is the most stubborn of all types of eczema - because most topical medications for eczema contain hormones, and hormones are prohibited for use on the scrotum; the author is accustomed to using compound phellodendron liquid plus traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning, which can cure it; it must be noted that in most cases this type of disease is caused by fungal infection, so antifungal drugs should be used in conjunction with it.

What's wrong with the itchy inner thighs? Pruritus; this type is just the opposite of eczema; eczema is more severe on the scrotum, while pruritus is more obvious on the thighs, manifested as dry skin on one or both sides of the thighs, obvious pores, severe itching, and some severe cases even scratched to bleed, with obvious scratches; especially at night when the skin is heated after getting into bed; this type is mostly related to excessive bathing or poor skin and spleen and stomach function. It can be treated with oral antipruritic drugs such as loratadine tablets, Chinese patent medicine skin itching granules, etc. It is not difficult to treat, but it must be used for at least one month; keratosis pilaris; manifested as small bumps, commonly known as chicken skin; most of these are accompanied by the same lesions on the upper arms and face; this type is prone to itching, often due to excessive scratching leading to local skin pigmentation; the so-called black inner thighs of many people are related to this; treatment is mainly applied with exfoliating ointments and Chinese medicine conditioning.
