    Itching of the testicular outer skin may be related to scrotal eczema, tinea cruris, contact dermatitis, pubic lice, neurodermatitis and other factors. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment after determining the cause.

    Scrotal eczema is usually caused by factors such as local excessive sweating and friction irritation, and manifests as skin flushing, papules and severe itching. Triamcinolone acetonide and econazole cream, compound dexamethasone acetate cream and other drugs can be used as directed by your doctor. Tinea cruris is mostly caused by fungal infection and is characterized by annular erythema and scaling. It is recommended to treat it with topical bifonazole cream or terbinafine cream. Contact dermatitis is often related to chemical irritation. Avoid contact with allergens and use hydrocortisone cream to relieve symptoms.

    Pubic lice disease is caused by parasitic infection, and large gray-white worms with needle-like bodies can be seen. Pubic hair needs to be shaved and external use of Baibu tincture to kill the insects. Neurodermatitis is related to mental factors, and the skin lesions appear lichen-like. Halometasone cream combined with antihistamines can be used. You should choose pure cotton breathable underwear for daily use, avoid scratching and hot water washing, and keep the affected area clean and dry. If symptoms continue to worsen or ulcers and exudate appear, you must seek medical attention from a dermatologist immediately.
