Itching of moles on the scrotum can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as dry skin, friction, allergic reactions, or infection. This itching may be accompanied by mild redness or a rash, especially when the weather is dry or when wearing tight clothing.
If itching is accompanied by pain, swelling, or discharge, it may indicate an infection. Infections can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses, and these usually require prompt medical intervention. Another possibility relates to the nature of the mole itself; if the mole changes color, size, or shape, this could be a sign that the mole is becoming malignant and requires further professional examination.
Patients must know that if itching is accompanied by severe pain, significant swelling, fever, or other serious symptoms, they should seek medical attention immediately. Any changes in moles should not be ignored, especially those that darken in color, become asymmetrical, or have irregular borders, as these could be early signs of skin cancer. Avoiding self-diagnosis and seeking timely professional medical help is crucial.
[Prevention Tips:]
1. Keep the scrotal area clean and dry, and avoid using bath products that may cause allergies.
2. Wear loose and breathable underwear to reduce friction and sweat buildup.
3. Regularly check the moles on your body, paying attention to any changes in color, size, or shape.
4. Avoid scratching itchy areas to prevent infection or worsening of symptoms.
