Bumps on shaft and pubic area
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello! so here is the run down ive had them for almost a month most started out as pale tiny really really white spots on my penis and then formed actual red bumps. They never itch,burn, irritate me or anything but there are so many and its making me worrysome i went to an std clinic to get a swab and the lady turn on a bright light and looked for about 3 mins and said i have folliculitis, and or maybe molluscum and not to worry it should clear up and perscribed me aintibiotic cream but its been 2 weeks and i have not seen any results she said no need for a swab. they are hard almost like back pimples and some of them get heads and some look like they have white puss last time i had sex with someone new was 8 months ago. just looking for otheres opionons not causing discomfort just not pretty to look at. i did go to a dermotologist for a differnt problem a lil over a year ago and she said i have egzema, contact dermatitis, and folliculitis. i dont want to put steroid cream on my pubic area

I would agree more with the diagnosis you were given 1 year+ ago as to being what you have now.
It sounds to me if you have had something like this going on for way over a year there is something quite, or radically wrong - such as your current hygiene regime, perhaps you also have things like constant or the regular presence of sweat going on that is part of the problem.
In addition, if you potentially have an autoimmune issue on your genital skin such as Eczema then this can be a fairly potent mix of circumstances. Here is something I quickly grabbed on Eczema, as pure example, of what can contribute to the kinds of things you are experiencing:
.
What is the main cause of eczema?
Certain substances or conditions called trigger factors can cause eczema to flare-up: Irritants such as soaps and detergents, wool, skin infections, dry skin, low humidity, heat, sweating or emotional stress. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, moulds, or foods.
.
I would suggest you look up risk factors that you can attend to, to help prevent folliculitis, and check out what is happening with contact dermatitis as well so you can be informed and take appropriate action.
Fundamentally you need to get to the bottom of exactly what is going on and this will most likely involve the need to see a Dermatologist on at least several occasions - also think if a topical steroid would help your skin to sufficiently recover over a period of 3 to 5 months so that you can then move on to a different treatment or regime, then i would strongly suggest it is at least worth trying
