Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been having pimples on my penis, about 1.3 cm in size, and I have a lot of them from the head to the middle skin, which is very itchy. I am 15 years old, and I used to masturbate. Please help. Is this serious? What should I do?

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It looks like you have scabies, a condition caused by a mite. The naked eye cannot see it. It is only seen under a microscope. Symptoms include intense itching, which worsens at night, and bumps, pimples, and papules are seen all over but more prominent between fingers and around the axilla, and the presence of bumps over male genitalia is almost always diagnostic. Please take the following medications and follow the instructions:

1. Permethrin 5 % cream must be applied all over the body, below the neck at night, leave it overnight, and take a hot water bath in the morning. This should be repeated after one week for a complete response. You also need to wash the clothes and bed sheets in hot water.

2. Tablet Fexofenadine 180 mg twice a day.

3. Mometasone furoate cream apply to the bumps daily twice a day.

Please note that though you will see improvement in itching and redness soon enough, complete clearance might take three to four weeks. Take these for two weeks initially, then follow-up is required. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take the medicines with their consent.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
