Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have severe rashes in my scrotum area. It has become hard and dry with red bumps all over the scrotum area and the penis too. I usually use Dettol soap and also I have shaved my groin area. Is that the reason for this? Please tell any medicines. I have chronic urticaria since last year.
Hi,
I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.
I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.
Yes, Dettol is an irritant. It can make skin dry and cause bumps over it. Dettol should not be used. Kindly follow this prescription.
1. Apply Hydrocortisone plus Gentamicin combination cream.
2. Apply Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly) 4 to 5 times a day.
3. Take Loratadine 10 mg OD.
4. Wash with mild soap and water.
5. Avoid Dettol and other irritants.
Follow up at three weeks.
Thank you for consulting me.
You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
