Does scabies cause big boils on the penis?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you mentioned in history, you have scabies; when scabies treatment is taken, the parasite causing infection dies, and that causes a hypersensitivity reaction resulting in the appearance of tiny bumps, so you might have developed that. But as you mentioned, big boils are unlikely to be a hypersensitivity reaction.

It could be a secondary infection also. However, without seeing the lesion in the photo, it is really difficult to provide the definitive cause of these lesions. Please share a photo so I can suggest treatment for you. Also, take the tablet Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180 mg daily at night for seven days; this is for itching.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest not applying Clonate F (Clobetasol 0.05% w/w and Fusidic acid 2% w/w) as they contain strong steroids, which can damage the thin skin of the scrotum. I have examined the provided photograph (attachment removed to protect patient's identity), as per which you have developed a secondary infection with the blister. I advise you to take one tablet of Ivermectin 12 mg and repeat it after seven days. Take only two tablets. Take the medicine only if you have not taken it previously. Apply Desonide cream (Desonide 0.05% w/w) once daily at night in a small quantity over the red lesions on the scrotum for seven days. Apply Sodium fusidate cream daily on the red lesions for seven days. Also, take the tablet Allegra (Fexofenadine 120 mg) daily at night. Consult your doctor and take the medicine accordingly.

I hope this information will help you.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Hello,

Glad to have you back!

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

I need to see these rashes now as I need to check whether it is scabies only or it is something else. Kindly revert back with a picture of the area.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.

Hi,

Once more, thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.

We value the high level of confidence you have in us!

Did you take all the medicines properly? Please tell me how you applied the cream. I hope you did not apply it daily. And did the infection resolve after taking this treatment and then recur again?

Thank you.

Dear,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

With passion, commitment, and experience, I hope I will be able to provide you top-class medical opinion.

It does look like scabies, but if you have taken Ivermectin tablets and applied Permethrin cream properly, then you should be relieved. How did you apply Permethrin cream? Did you apply it daily? I suggest you to visit a dermatologist in person if the condition is not better with this treatment.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thank you for choosing us as your provider for medical care.

You did not have to apply Permethrin daily. You were supposed to apply the whole cream of 30 gm tube, from neck to all over the body, finish the cream in one application, keep it overnight, and then take a bath the next morning. Repeat the application similarly after 10 days.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
