Dr. Li Mingchuan
Itching of the male scrotal skin may be caused by various factors, including improper clothing, contact dermatitis, scrotal eczema, etc. The following measures can be taken:
1. Lifestyle adjustments: Maintain personal hygiene by bathing regularly and changing underwear frequently. Avoid wearing tight-fitting or rough-textured underwear to reduce friction and irritation.
2. Topical medications: As advised by a doctor, apply topical agents such as calamine lotion or tacrolimus ointment to relieve itching.
3. Oral medications: If itching is severe, take oral antihistamines such as loratadine tablets or cetirizine hydrochloride capsules as prescribed, to inhibit histamine release and alleviate symptoms.
4. Medical evaluation: If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly for accurate diagnosis and professional treatment.
