Why does a child’s penis itch?

The development of children's genitals is a very important matter, because children's genitals do not have an effective self-protection mechanism and are easily affected by external factors and become pathological. Genital problems in boys are the most common, complex, and difficult to solve. For example, itching in the penis area makes children feel very uncomfortable. Let's take a look at what causes itchy penises in children.

Check the condition of the child's penis to see if there is any redness, bumps, blisters, etc., and check the clothes that come into contact with the penis to see if there are any foreign objects, moisture, brine, threads, or obvious fibers.

1. It may be scratched by foreign objects, resulting in strip-like marks.

2. Clothing allergies and small bumps.

3. The most common cause is urine in the pants and failure to change them in time, resulting in small swellings.

4. Not changing underwear for a long time will cause the brine to damage the skin, and the swelling area will be slightly larger.

Solution:

1. No matter what, change your clothes first and check them carefully. Wash them with a mild detergent to check if there are any loose threads or broken threads that may scratch your skin.

2. Clean the penis with warm and clean water, including the penis and the area around it, as well as the groin and buttocks.

3. If you have mugwort, you can use mugwort water to wash, and pay attention to wash only the affected area as much as possible.

4. Apply herbal anti-itching gel for babies. You can also use aloe vera gel depending on the effect.

5. It may also be caused by foreskin being covered too long. Urine accumulates in the foreskin for too long, leading to eczema. Doctors recommend soaking in Kangfuxin liquid for 10 minutes, twice a day. Even if the foreskin is not too long, some teachers recommend spraying Kangfuxin liquid.

6. Pay attention to keeping the penis dry, reduce the child's sweating, and clean it in time.

7. In serious cases, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Precautions

1. The water used must be clean warm water.

2. It is forbidden to use topical medications for adults because most of them contain hormone ingredients.

3. Finding the root cause makes it easier to solve the problem.

4. The diet should be light, avoid spicy and meaty foods, and don’t eat fish, shrimp, leeks, beef and other irritating foods.

5. If the itching and pain are severe or cannot be relieved quickly, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
