Itching at the base of the penis

Patient's question:

Itching at the base of the penis, itchy during the day, doesn't feel very itchy when sleeping at night, but it becomes very itchy after the dawn. It might be due to the bad weather these days, and I wore the underwear that were dried indoors (note: discovered the itching at the base of the penis after wearing them for about 2 days).

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is likely caused by inflammation. Suggestions: It is recommended to first pay attention to personal hygiene, maintain external genital cleanliness and dryness, change underwear frequently, and wear cotton underwear. Regular gynecological examinations should be conducted. It is better to use potassium permanganate diluted solution for Sitz baths or to rinse with Jieryin.
