Can Consumption Of Soft Drinks Cause Itching And Burning In Private Area?

I have an embarrassing question but I d like to know if soft drinks such as doctor pepper for instance can cause itching and burning in a private area? It only ever happens after I have drank a bottle or a can of a caffeinated drink. Could I be allergic?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, allergy to that drink can cause itching in private parts.
Another possibility is diabetes.
These drinks carry large amount of sugar. So if you are undiagnosed diabetic then this drinks can cause hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia can cause itching in private parts.
So in your case, you should get done sugar levels (for diabetes) and allergy testing.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
