Patient's question:
I don't know why my pubic hair keeps falling out, and the skin underneath it is always itchy. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Check to confirm if there is folliculitis. The reasons for pubic hair itching at night are generally as follows:1. Itching caused by sweat and sweat fluid irritation.
2. Itching of pubic hair caused by dermatitis or eczema.
3. Itching of pubic hair caused by infectious diseases or parasitic infections.
4. Itching of pubic hair caused by gynecological diseases.
If the itching is due to the first reason: irritation from sweat. Bathe frequently every day. If the itching persists after bathing, use special anti-itch medications. If the skin becomes red, it may already be dermatitis, eczema, or tinea, and specialized products should be used.
If the itching is due to the second reason: itching of pubic hair caused by dermatitis or eczema, using anti-itch medications alone is not effective. It is necessary to treat the dermatitis or eczema. Do not scratch the skin, as this may leave scars, hyperpigmentation, or worsen the condition. Pay attention to your diet.
If the itching is due to the third reason: itching of pubic hair caused by infectious diseases or parasitic infections. Once the parasites are completely eradicated, the itching will no longer be contagious.
For women, pubic hair itching may also be caused by gynecological diseases. Use Fuyanjie or Jie'eryin daily for washing. If there is no improvement, visit a gynecologist nearby and do not delay.
