Why does the lower abdomen itch at night and cause awakening?

Patient's question:

My husband had some discomfort in his lower abdomen with itching in the middle of last year. However, it didn't occur during the day, only at night, but it wasn't very severe. Sometimes he would be woken up by the itching at 3 a.m. But when he went to the hospital for a check-up, they couldn't find anything wrong. They said everything was fine. Why is that?
First follow-up question: What is potassium permanganate (1:5000)? Where can it be bought?

Doctor's answer:

Pay attention to the groin area, as it can reduce diseases, but it cannot completely prevent them. If you have such symptoms, you still need to figure out what is causing the problem. It is essential to go to the hospital as soon as possible for a clear examination and diagnosis. Only after confirmation can effective treatment be administered. It needs to be determined whether it is scrotal eczema or the cause of folliculitis. If the cause is unclear, it is not advisable to use medication blindly, especially in this area. Improper use can easily lead to problems.
