What causes itching under the testicles?

In summer, it is easy for the skin to become sensitive and itchy. There are also many floating particles in the air. I easily become itchy all over my body in summer, and my body becomes sticky. I don’t know if it is a psychological suggestion or a real problem. Some netizens said that they recently felt itchy under their testicles, and sometimes they would wake up in the middle of the night because of the itch. This is a big deal, as the testicles are a very important part of the male body. So, what causes itching under the testicles?

The itching under the testicles is probably caused by scrotal eczema, which is the most common skin disease of the scrotum. It is an allergic reaction and a common skin disease of the male genitals. It is not a sexually transmitted disease. It is commonly known as "hydrangea wind", "cell leakage sore", etc. It is very stubborn, and patients often suffer from pain or secondary infection due to scratching or inappropriate stimulation. This disease is divided into acute and chronic types, and is closely related to people’s occupations and living environment. People who work in coal mines, tunnels and other humid environments for a long time, or people who live in humid areas or rooms for a long time are prone to this disease. Some people also believe that the occurrence of this disease is related to genetic factors, hot water washing, and irritable temperament.

This disease is severely itchy and recurrent. The causes of scrotal eczema are more complicated, including internal factors and external factors. People with allergic constitution, those who are under long-term mental stress and those who have great mood swings are prone to this disease; in addition, people with certain diseases, such as chronic digestive system diseases, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine disorders, and metabolic disorders, are also prone to this disease under the influence of external factors. For example, if scrotitis is caused by sweat irritation, riboflavin deficiency or fungal infection, scrotal neurodermatitis, eczema, tinea cruris, etc., it is recommended that you do not scratch to avoid infection. Pay attention to get more rest, avoid fatigue, and eat a light diet.

You should wear loose cotton pants to keep the genitals ventilated and breathable, keep the scrotum dry, pay attention to local hygiene, and wash it every day. If itching is obvious, do not scratch it and do not use boiling water to scald it. If various local damages occur, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Some antihistamines can be used, commonly used ones are cyproheptadine 2 mg, 3 times a day; chlorpheniramine 4 mg, 3 times a day; clidinium 25 mg, 3 times a day; astemizole 10 mg, once a day. Apply Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole ointment externally and wash the perineum every day to keep it clean.

Do not eat irritating food or drink alcohol in the near future, pay attention to personal hygiene, wash your genitals regularly, exercise restraint in sexual life, do not masturbate, and wear loose cotton underwear. Do not scratch with your hands because of itching, as this will aggravate the condition and cause infection. You also need to rest more. It is recommended that friends who are troubled by this go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
