Why does pubic hair itch?

Although young people nowadays are more open-minded, there are still great deficiencies in the care of private parts. Therefore, when pubic itching occurs, many people choose to deal with it privately, or go to some informal small clinics to buy some medicine for treatment. In fact, not knowing why the pubic itching occurs and blindly treating it will not solve the problem. So why does pubic hair itch?

There are many reasons. In addition to excluding inflammation, mycoplasma, and positive culture of Yinplasma, there may still be the following reasons:

1. Local skin uncleanness: Some women use toilet paper improperly, and the skin of the vulva is soaked by menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, and even urine, feces and sweat, which causes chronic inflammation of the local skin and causes vulva itching.

2. Vaginal Trichomonas infection: When the acidity of the female vaginal mucosa decreases, the production of lactic acid decreases, making vaginal Trichomonas infection more likely to occur, which manifests as foamy leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

3. Fungal infection: For women with diabetes or long-term use of antibiotics that cause imbalance of normal flora, Candida albicans in the fungus can easily invade the vulva and vagina, causing fungal vulvar and vaginitis, often with bean curd-like leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

4. Parasitic infection: Pinworms mainly attack young girls, but adult women can also be infected. When the anus relaxes at night, pinworms crawl out of the rectum and swim to the vulva to mate and lay eggs, irritating the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva, causing local itching. When scabies is caused by scabies infection, the external skin lesions are the most serious, so local itching is also the most obvious. Pubic lice are manifested by severe itching in the area where pubic hair grows, and grayish-white millet-sized nits or lice may be found at the base of the pubic hair or on the hair shafts.

5. Drug rash: "Fixed drug rash" caused by women with allergic constitution taking sulfonamides or other drugs often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva. In addition to local itching, it may be complicated by erosion and exudation. Vulvar itching may also occur if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur when using drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion.

All of the above reasons may cause itching in the pubic area. Therefore, when itching in the pubic area occurs, it is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital for treatment. Do not have too much psychological pressure. This is actually a very normal situation. In order to avoid itching in the pubic area, we must take good care of our private parts at ordinary times, pay attention to regular cleaning, and keep them clean and dry.
