    Itchy testicles that become more itchy and white when scratched may be caused by not paying attention to personal hygiene, scrotal eczema, tinea cruris, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.

    1. Not paying attention to personal hygiene

    It may be caused by not paying attention to hygiene and not changing underwear frequently, which can be relieved by taking frequent baths, changing clothes frequently, and avoiding scratching.

    2. Scrotal eczema

    It may be caused by eczema due to moisture in the scrotum, which can be treated with loratadine, cetirizine hydrochloride and other drugs as directed by your doctor.

    3. Tinea cruris

    It may be caused by fungal infection. Itching and peeling of tinea cruris can be treated with terbinafine, itraconazole and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition, it may be caused by contact dermatitis and other reasons. During the treatment period, you should pay attention to your diet, avoid spicy food, and drink more water.
