Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 29 years old. There are some reddish white hard spots on my scrotum. They are painless but itchy. How can I get rid of them? I have searched on the internet and it says that it is calcinosis cutis of the scrotum. Please suggest something to clear those.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern, but you should have sent me the pictures to confirm the diagnosis. If it is calcinosis, then no cream or powder will help. The only treatment is surgery for that. Take care.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for your reply. I am here with attaching the picture of the same. I request you to diagnose the same kindly. Can this be treated with medication as I am a bit scared of surgery? I suggest some medicines if possible.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Thanks for sharing the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
Yes, it is idiopathic scrotal calcinosis or the calcinosis cutis of the scrotum. Unfortunately, it cannot be treated by any oral medications or topicals. It is completely a harmless condition and can be left alone without any consequences. If one wishes to get them removed, then surgery is the only option. Do not be afraid of surgery. If you plan, then go for it as it is a minor surgical procedure. Take care.
