Why Do You Feel Itching？
What we call "itching of the balls" is actually the itching of the scrotum, which refers to the itching and discomfort of the skin in the scrotum due to lesions or infections. The scrotum is easy to breed pathogens because the scrotum, whose skin is loose and wrinkled with many hairs, is rich in blood vessels and nerves and is located in a particularly sensitive area of the human body. Most of this itching comes in bursts and disappears for a while. In severe cases, due to frequent scratching, the skin often has damages, such as scratches, bleeding, pigmentation.
While scrotal itching is common, not every man is prone to it, and it is usually more common in people with the following conditions or habits:

6. Poor hygiene and dampness in the scrotum, especially in patients with skin diseases such as eczema, dermatitis, and prostatitis;
7. Long-term sedentary, lack of exercise, spicy and stimulating diet, staying up too late, and other bad habits.
