A few months ago I noticed a hard crusty spot on my scrotum. It's about the size of a quarter, whitish, itches, and the area is hard and scaly looking. I just thought it was just dry skin but I've treated with healing lotion and Crack cream and doesn't appear to be getting any better. What is this and how can it be treated?
View 1 RepliesFor about 3 months now, my fiance has had an intensely itchy area on the left underside of his scrotum. We tried numerous powders and creams, both medicated and unmedicated. Some would work for a few minutes to a few hours but nothing "cured" it. The area is very wrinkly and dry looking. He scratches and itches it so much that it starts to get raw. I stopped using any laundry detergent at all on his boxers and just washed them in water. He said it helps, he isn't as itchy as he was before, but its not going away.
My crazy mind is now going all over the place to try to solve this and I began to wonder....
I, myself, have been suffering from recurrent episodes of bacterial vaginosis for about 2 years. I treat it with vaginally inserted metronidazole and it goes away. Then, sometimes weeks, sometimes months later, it comes back. I just did some research and am going to try some home remedies for myself.
I find conflicting information online about men and a bacterial infection. I read that it is uncommon for men to get this and if they do they USUALLY have no symptoms. Is it possible that he got it from me and is now starting to show symptoms? And I only treat myself so are we just passing it back and forth? Maybe these are two completely different issues but I have to wonder and ask. I hate to see him so uncomfortable all the time, and I know I hate the symptoms I get with my BV.
A little description, I am a fit 18 yo male. I have never had sex, up until very recently, and I have had these spots before being sexually active.
To me it feels like a wart, although I've never had one I don't believe this to be any type of ingrown hair from shaving. I am very worried, I do not want to give my girlfriend any STD's and I will be getting tested this week, however I'd just like to know asap if there's much to worry about. So, what is this red dot?
I few days ago I noticed a white spot on the right side of my scrotum. The spot is no bigger than a dime and when I stretch my skin it doesn't show any abnormal grown and the spot is harder to notice. Another thing I noticed is when my scrotum is relax is harder to find but when it is the tense state is much easy to notice.
I've had jock itch before but it last some weeks max....
I'm in a monogamous relationship for some years now.
So I'm very confuse, it is a fungal infection? or simply a white spot? or something else?
I'm 13, approaching 14 later this year and I have a small, singular spot on the underside of my scrotum. It's toward the right side, and looks similar to an acne spot. Keep in mind I already have pubic hair so it can't be those spots. When I say small, it's pretty much the size of the tip of a slightly blunt pencil.
View 1 RepliesI 'm just curious about a spot kind of thing I have on my scrotum. The spot itself looks cream in appearance and it looks as if its under my skin on my scrotum. The spot doesn't hurt however it doesn't pop even if i try my best. It seems as if there is something hard inside it and no matter how hard I try I can't pop it. I have had it for over 3 months now and its not going away so i'm really worried. Can someone please help me and tell me what this thing is and how can i get rid of it.
View 2 Replies45-year old male. A few weeks back I noticed a red and inflamed pimple-like bump (possibly a pimple) on the very bottom area of my scrotum. It stayed red and tender for a few days and eventually became much less irritated and much less red. Now, several weeks later, it's still there, still looking simliar to a pimple, but not as bad as it did the first days. I guess my main reason for posting is to relieve my mind that this isn't a cancerous cyst or lump. It doesn't go deep beneath the skin, it is the size of a pimple, it might be a pimple. Would a cancerous bump or lump or lesion be similar to this? Anybody want to ease my mind or have me race to the doc to get it looked at? Thanks for reading and for any replies.
I haven't had any sexual relations in some time, so an STD is out of the question unless my hand gave it to me.
I am 14 years old and I am only about 6 months into puberty. I have never had any sex in my life. The other day in school, I noticed that a part of my scrotum hurt a little bit. When I got home, I found a very small white spot on my scrotum that stuck out like a pimple. It was probably only a mm in diameter, and it hurt when I touched it. Today when I got home, I checked it again. Now it is way shorter and doesn't hurt as much, and it is red. Is this a pimple? Do you think the pimple head just fell off during the day?
View 1 RepliesI have a really bad rash on my scrotum caused by my penis rubbing against it. It really hurts, and now my left testicle is rubbing against the inside of my scrotum. I have used petroleum jelly but I find it uncomfortable because it tickles my penis! Is there any cream or anything like that I could apply to stop the irritation, or should I wait until my testicles get a little bigger(I am prepubescent)?
View 1 RepliesI have small bumps on my penis and a larger one which seems to by a cyst i have had the itchy sensation for almost a year now w/o going to a md. No insurance is on reason other is embarrassment. Are the two connected my scrotum will itch unbearably almost all the time. My palms will itch the same why with rough skin on the hands just the palms. This my seem weird but guys when we pee we usually use our left hand to hold our pants down and my left thumb will usually touch my scrotum or penis that is where i have gotten a itch rash before that went away after washing hands and using hydrocortisone 1% cream. No weird discharges but it seems to be spreading to my anus area and around the bottom or my buttocks by my legs. I also will get small blister type bumps that when i pop them will bleed like crazy. I have used hydrocortisone and it stops the itchy almost 100% for a few hrs. I thought maybe a fungus and I am trying tinactin creme on my penis and hands seems to be very itch after the tination creme has been on for a few hrs.
View 1 RepliesI recently turned 14 years old and I have never had sex. But I recently noticed after my birthday in July that I had a couple very itchy bumps on my scrotum. At first I decided that it was nothing and I pushed it aside. But then I started seeing more itchy bumps. I noticed one got on my penis and I thought it was a STD or a STI but I have never had sexual intercourse. On my birthday I met a girl who gave me a hand job but you can't get any STD from a hand job. I looked up "itchy bumps on penile shaft and scrotum" on google and I read that I can try putting either Baby Powder or Gold Bond on the bumps. I've been trying doing this for about a week and nothings really changed. I am too afraid to talk to my parents about this and the only place where I know of getting a free check up is in downtown and my parents would not just take me to downtown for no reason. I don't want to tell my mom or dad about this, someone please help me. I'm scared and the itching has gotten so bad that it just woke me up from sleeping at 4 AM.
View 14 RepliesI have a white spot almost looks like a scar but isn't raised on my scrotum. The scrotum it self seems a little red on the lower part, it was slightly itchy the red area but I used some cortisone cream and no longer itches, I'm not sure but the scrotum may be slightly inflamed. It does not burn when I urainate or ejectulate . I had a high risk sexual encounter but used a condom and some light kissing 4 days ago. could this be an std or jock itch? since I've been working outside more a sweating more.
View 1 Repliesits a rash that's just really annoying. and sometimes it gets so much and when i scratch one area, all other areas begin to itch... and it gets really painful.. im definitely sure its not std bcos i've never had sex.
View 1 Repliesi am a 19 year old asian male. I have developed LOTS of different kinds of skin problems. But about 3 months ago, i started getting itchy legs, I started scratching and developed patches on my legs that have small red dots. i also developed some sort of raised rash on my face (under my eyes, cheeks, and eyebrows). I have similar raised rashes as the one on my face on the back of my neck, and the crease of my leg (behind my knee). I also recently started to develop red dots all over my lower stomach, upper legs and thighs. they almost seem like an allergic reaction, but I haven't really done anything different than i normally would. I occasionally get a rash on my armpit. I will not wear deodorant when i have this, and it will eventually go away, but as soon as it goes away the other armpit tends to develop the same thing. I also have small bumps all over my elbows and part of my arms. THey feel extremely rough. If you were to rub it, you would think you were touching some sort of lizard. Also, my butt cheeks have been getting itchy and it leads all the way to my scrotum. The itch on my scrotum isn't unbearable
WIth all these different kinds of rashes last week, all the affected areas on my buddy (even though, they are different kinds of rashes) started to puss a yellow honey like liquid. I kept wiping it off, but when i woke up the next morning, they had turned into something similar to a scab. some of them peeled off, and i had a shiny smooth skin under it.
I don't' know what's going on. All i know is that im tired of itching, and not being able to sleep at night. THIs has been effecting my daily life very badly. I would like to see a dermatologist, but I do not have health insurance. If there is anyone that has any of the same kind of problems, or have any form of help, it would be appreciated sooooo much.

View 1 RepliesI have a really embarrassing problem, and I don’t want to go to a doctor unless I really have to. But I have these 4-5 whitish bumps on the shaft of my penis, and I am really worried. I don’t think it’s an STD, because it’s been over a year since I had sex. But I’m afraid that if a girl sees them, she will think there is something wrong with me.

View 1 RepliesI have used a vaginal suppository prescribed by gyn in night. In morning, there was a gross whitish deposit on the inner wear. I took bath and cleaned up well, but now also, I see certain discharge on my underwear and some whitish granules on the vulva.
Have I used the suppository in some wrong way? and is there anything I should have done in morning to clean up?
