    Itchy skin on the penis may be caused by scrotal eczema or inflammation of the glans foreskin, and it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by allergic factors. You need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to understand your own condition, and at the same time, you need to do a good job of nursing to avoid infection.

    1. Scrotal eczema

    Scrotal eczema usually means that local hygiene care is not in place, or the area is often exposed to a dark and humid environment, which may cause local eczema. After being irritated, it will cause itching symptoms. You need to wash the area with clean water to maintain local hygiene. You can also choose to apply erythromycin ointment.

    2. Foreskin glans inflammation

    Foreskin glans inflammation usually means that the foreskin is too long and the glans cannot leak normally. There may be some pollutants in it. If the skin is not cleaned properly, it may cause itching of the penis. It needs to be rinsed with warm water. If necessary, oral amoxicillin capsules can be chosen for treatment. After the inflammation subsides, circumcision surgery can be chosen.

    3. Allergy factors

    If the material of the underwear you buy is not particularly good, it may cause allergic reactions. After being stimulated by allergens, it will cause itching and redness in the penis. You need to throw away the low-quality underwear in time and choose pure cotton underwear. You also need to take oral anti-allergic drugs, such as loratadine or cetirizine.
