    Penile itching generally requires the selection of appropriate medication according to the individual's cause. Penile itching is likely to be caused by balanitis, scrotal eczema, penitis and other causes. Appropriate medication can be selected according to the individual's cause.

    1. Balanitis

    This is a relatively common disease that may cause itching of the penis after being stimulated by inflammation, and may even be accompanied by swelling and pain. Generally, it is necessary to use mupirocin ointment, clotrimazole cream, erythromycin ointment and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    2. Scrotal eczema

    Scrotal eczema is mainly caused by sitting for long periods of time, which will cause the scrotum to be in a moist environment, leading to redness, swelling and itching after inflammation and infection. Generally, erythromycin ointment, tacrolimus ointment, pimecrolimus cream, etc. need to be used under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Penis inflammation
