How to treat itchy bumps on the testicles?
human
Hi, I have had a very uncomfortable itching on my scrotum for over a month now. Bumps started appearing on my penis head and then moved down my shaft and onto my balls. I went to the doctor about it and took an std test. It came back negative, so she gave me a round of antibiotics. They made the bumps go down a bit, but they were still there. She then prescribed me another round of the same antibiotic. This still didn't work. I went to my family doctor and he gave me a steroid shot and a medicine called fluconisole. The bumps have gone away completely on my head and shaft, but I still have some on my ball sack and they itch like crazy! Also, I am itching on my inner thighs, knees, feet, and wrists. I asked my doctor if it was scabies, but he said that I would have extremely noticeable lines in the folds of my fingers, and I also bathe regularly and keep well groomed. Please any help you can provide would be a blessing! I am going crazy over this itch!!

Hi, Itching over scrotum and bumps over penis. You can think of two possibilities1. Jock itch or seborrheic dermatitis with secondary bacterial infection leading to furuncles2. Genital Scabies For scabies, correct method of application of a good scabicidal drug is very important. It has to be applied overnight from neck to foot is necessary. All the contacts to be treated simultaneously. Oral scabicidal drugs are available. Antihistamines will control itching and appropriate antibiotics have to be started for secondary infection.Consult a Dermatologist for further help. Dr S.Murugan
