What should men do if their scrotum is wet and itchy?

The scrotum, to use a vivid metaphor, is the private villa of the testicles. The suitable survival temperature for sperm is 35 degrees, and the wrinkles on the surface of the scrotum are just right for sperm survival. So why is the scrotum wet?

Why is the scrotum wet and itchy?

1. Men who do a lot of physical labor or sweat a lot due to obesity have high genital temperature, a lot of sweat, humidity, and poor ventilation. The scrotal skin is affected by sweat immersion and friction from underwear, which can easily cause itching. This situation can also occur if you wear overly tight jeans or non-absorbent and non-breathable nylon underwear.

2. Vitamin deficiency in the body may also cause itching of the scrotum. At this time, the scrotum will show changes such as erythema, dryness, desquamation, papules and scabs, accompanied by itching. Angular cheilitis, glossitis and oral ulcers may also occur. This situation may be scrotitis caused by vitamin B2 deficiency, and you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

3. Older men often feel a damp scrotum, accompanied by excessive sweating, fatigue, poor libido, and poor sex life. Most of these men suffer from androgen deficiency or male menopause syndrome and should go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations and receive treatment if necessary.

What to do if the scrotum is wet and itchy?

1. To improve the unspeakable itching and moisture of the scrotum, the most important thing is not to let the scrotum feel damp, but to keep it dry, and insist on taking a bath every day and cleaning the scrotum crevice at the same time. After taking a shower, you should also keep yourself dry. If necessary, you can sprinkle some sweat-absorbing powder.

2. Avoid wearing tight underwear and jeans for a long time, otherwise it will artificially cause excessive restraint on the scrotum and testicles, especially in the hot summer, coupled with poor air permeability, which will lead to poor local heat dissipation, causing the scrotum temperature to rise, resulting in scrotal itching and moisture, thus causing scrotal eczema.

3. People who already have scrotal eczema should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time and can use ointments such as steroids. You should restrain the desire to scratch, otherwise the affected area will often be irritated and the scrotum will be itchy and moist, which will greatly reduce the treatment effect of scrotal eczema and may even cause repeated recurrences.
