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 the pubic hair caused by dermatitis or eczema.
3. Itching of the pubic hair caused by infectious diseases or parasitic infections.
4. Itching of the 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 itch-relief medications. If the skin becomes red, it may indicate dermatitis, eczema, or tinea, and specialized products should be used.
If the itching is due to the second reason: dermatitis or eczema causing pubic hair itching. Using itch-relief medications alone will not be effective; it is necessary to treat the dermatitis or eczema. Avoid scratching the skin to prevent scars, hyperpigmentation, or worsening the condition. Pay attention to your diet.
If the itching is due to the third reason: infectious diseases or parasitic infections causing pubic hair itching. Once the parasites are completely eradicated and no longer contagious, the itching will subside.
For women, pubic hair itching may also be due to gynecological diseases. Use Fuyanjie or Jie'eryin daily for washing. If there is no improvement, seek medical attention from a gynecologist promptly. Do not delay.
