Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have had small bumps around my gentials and recently had sex with some new partners. Also, I have slight tenderness in that area. What could be the cause? Kindly help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. The photos (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity) are not clear to make out the lesions. It is too magnified or not clear. Please send clear photos of lesion for clarification. Please get back with details like symptoms, duration, distribution of lesions, intercourse history, partner history, other diseases or medications, etc., for clarification. Kindly revert for more queries. Thank you.
Patient's Query
Thank you for your reply, doctor.
I have genital warts already. I have had four different sexual partners in the last month. One is on the pubic bone; the other two are between the thigh and testicles about 3 cm apart. The lesions are not itchy. But my testicles have been slightly red and itchy for years now (I had only been with one sexual partner for five years).
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The redness of the testis may be due to scrotal dermatitis. In addition, I saw two to three red lesions in the photos (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity), which may be due to folliculitis. Therefore, I suggest you do the following. Avoid friction and irritation. Wear loose cotton inner garments. See that there is adequate ventilation. You may need topical creams like Mupirocin if it persists. Avoid trimming hair too short. I hope this helps. Thank you.
