Itching and peeling of scrotum

Itching and peeling of the scrotum may be caused by allergic skin diseases, fungal infections, or bacterial infections. Appropriate treatment measures need to be selected according to different causes of the problem.

After the scrotal skin is stimulated by allergens, it may cause allergic dermatitis, allergic eczema or allergic urticaria, which will cause many small red bumps or congested wheals around the scrotum, accompanied by severe itching. In severe cases, it may cause skin damage. It can be treated with oral medications such as cetirizine hydrochloride tablets and loratadine tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

After the skin around the scrotum is infected by fungi, it may induce tinea cruris. Red patches will appear on the skin, which will also be covered with silvery white scales, accompanied by itching. You can apply ketoconazole cream or miconazole nitrate cream under the guidance of a doctor.

If you wear non-breathable underwear or overly tight underwear in daily life, it may cause the scrotum to be relatively moist, and a lot of bacteria will breed in it. After being sexually infected, it may cause the symptoms of peeling and itching in the scrotum. It can be applied by using erythromycin ointment and mupirocin ointment.
