    Men are synonymous with the strongest, but this does not mean that men are less likely to get sick. Many men have experienced scrotal itching before, and even are confused by this situation now. Men's scrotal itching must find the cause immediately and proactively take certain effective measures to solve it, otherwise it may become more and more serious. So what causes men’s scrotal itching?

    Causes of scrotal itching

    1. Mental illness is common, especially in summer, when the private parts have high temperature, sweat a lot, feel cold and clammy, and have poor air permeability. The skin of the vagina is affected by sweat pre-soaking and underwear friction, causing itching. Overly tight jeans and polyester underwear with poor moisture absorption and breathability can also cause this situation.

    2. Vitamin b22 deficiency can cause scrotal inflammation. Changes such as erythema, dryness, scaling, papules, and scarring appear on the vagina, accompanied by itching. In addition, angular stomatitis, glossitis and oral ulcers may also occur.

    3. Scrotal inflammation caused by bacteria, such as trichomonal scrotalitis, tinea cruris that invades the scrotum, can cause scrotal itching.

    4. Neurodermatitis and eczema in the pudendal area may cause itching. Generally speaking, general itching of the scrotum is not a sexually transmitted disease. If there is no history of sexual disorder, genital ulcers or growth of microorganisms, urethral pus, etc., there is no need to worry about getting sexually transmitted diseases.
