Why is there a very itchy area at the base of the penis where the testicles are?

Patient's question:

Base of the penis, almost near the testicles, it hurts. When I scratch, it seems like a thick layer of skin comes off, and it gets broken. I haven't had any unsafe sex or unclean sexual activity because I never go out. Why does it break skin when I scratch it?

Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by prolonged sitting, spicy bowel movements, internal dampness descending, or damp and unclean perineal area, leading to tinea or eczema. It is recommended to quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, eat less spicy food, clean the perineal area, and apply Ba or a small amount of Eczema Ointment after cleaning. Pay attention to genital hygiene. For testicular patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated promptly, it may affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
