Many male friends have reported that they have encountered an embarrassing problem, that is, wet scrotum. Sometimes there are bursts of strange smells, and over time the scrotum or surrounding skin will also appear itching and pimples. So what is the reason why the scrotum is moist, itchy, and has a peculiar smell? Let's take a look at the explanations given by experts from Yulin Sunshine Hospital.
What are the causes of moist itching and odor in the scrotum?
1. Due to inflammation, etc.: The cause of scrotal itching may be caused by inflammation. Neurodermatitis, eczema, etc. at the scrotum can have moist itching. In summary, general scrotal itching is not a sexually transmitted disease, as long as there is no history of sexual disorder, pudendal ulcers or hyperplasia, urethral discharge and other phenomena, there is no need to worry about getting sexually transmitted diseases.
2. Causes of daily habits: The cause of scrotal itching is sometimes related to daily habits. It is common in manual workers, especially in summer, where the temperature of the vulva is high, sweat is abundant, moist, and poor ventilation occurs. The scrotal skin is affected by sweat immersion, and the friction of underwear, resulting in moist itching and a peculiar smell. Wearing overly tight jeans, non absorbent and breathable nylon underwear can also cause this situation.
3. Lack of riboflavin causes: Scratchy scrotum may also be caused by a lack of riboflavin, commonly known as vitamin B2. Lack of riboflavin can lead to scrotal inflammation. Changes such as erythema, dryness, desquamation, papules, and crusts appear in the scrotum, accompanied by itching. At the same time, there can also be angular stomatitis, glossitis, and oral ulcers.
4. Fungal Causes: The cause of moist itching of the scrotum cannot be ruled out as a fungal infection. "Scrotulitis caused by fungi, such as candidiasis, and tinea cruris involving the scrotum, can cause itching of the scrotum.".
