Dr. Li Mingchuan
Glans itching is a common male symptom that may be caused by various factors. Certain bacteria and fungi can lead to glans itching. These microorganisms may form a thin film on the skin, which can irritate the skin and cause itching of the glans. Allergic reactions may also result in glans itching. Some men may be allergic to certain substances such as detergents, skincare products, or other chemicals; when these substances come into contact with the skin, they may trigger irritation and lead to glans itching. Skin conditions can also cause glans itching. Dermatological disorders such as eczema, allergic dermatitis, and prurigo may induce skin itching, thereby causing glans itching.
