    Itching on both sides of the scrotum may be caused by poor hygiene, folliculitis, scrotal eczema, etc. It needs to be treated according to the specific situation.

    1. Poor sanitary conditions

    The scrotum is often in hot and airtight conditions, which may cause the scrotum to sweat. If local hygiene is not done well, bacteria can easily breed. Sweat can also irritate the local area and cause itching. It is necessary to strengthen local hygiene and care.

    2. Folliculitis

    Folliculitis may be caused by various bacterial infections or frequent scratching of the scrotum, which may also lead to itching on both sides of the scrotum. You can apply sodium fusidate ointment, erythromycin ointment and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Scrotal eczema

    Exposure to allergens and frequent exposure to hot and humid conditions can easily cause scrotal eczema, resulting in local erythema, papules, and itching. You can use calamine lotion, mometasone furoate cream and other drugs as directed by your doctor.

    In addition to the above reasons, there may also be lesions such as genital warts, which require you to go to the hospital for relevant examinations.
