Suggest treatment for a small itchy bump on the penis
Patient: Ive having a constant battle with jock itch. I work outdoors so i sweat hevily throughout the day. Yesturday while showering i noticed a small itchy bump in the shaft of my penis. No pain or leaking any fluids and not pus filled. I do have masquito bites on my arms from work and the bump looks and feels like a bite also. Doctor: Hello dear,Considering the case history that you have recurrent infection with jock itch, the lesion as mentioned in your post can be attributed to contact dermatitis or any fungal infection.Application of ointment like Lobate GM (pharmacologically Clobetasol + Miconazole + Neomycin) will reduce the symptoms.1. Clobetasol being a steroid will reduce the inflammatory process2. Miconazole being an anti-fungal agent will take care of any fungus causing the symptoms3. Neomycin being an anti-bacterial agent will prevent secondary bacterial infections.In addition, keep the area dry & avoid too much exposure to water or sweat formation.Wishing you a Good Health.Take care.
