Male genital itching and skin peeling are generally related to inflammation and infection. Bacterial infection or viral infection cannot be ruled out. There are many reasons for male genital itching and peeling. Each person's situation will be different. You can first go to the dermatology department of the hospital for a professional doctor to make an effective diagnosis. Only after the cause is diagnosed can you treat the symptoms. You cannot blindly take drugs after a symptom appears, so as not to cause adverse reactions.
1. Inflammation and infectionThe male genital area is a relatively secretive part. If you often do not pay attention to local cleaning and hygiene in daily life, inflammation and infection may easily occur. When the skin is stimulated by inflammation, it will be accompanied by symptoms such as itching and peeling. It needs to be washed with warm water every day, and then apply erythromycin soft ointment.
2. Bacterial infectionIf men often bathe in large public places or share bath towels with other people, it is likely to lead to indirect bacterial infection. Symptoms of ringworm and peeling will also occur in the genital area, which can also cause itching. You need to apply itraconazole cream according to the guidance of a doctor to gradually recover.
3. Viral infectionWhen human papillomavirus infection or other viral infections occur in the male genital area, it will cause itching, peeling symptoms, and small pimples may develop, which can be treated with acyclovir cream.
