What Causes Bump On Testicle After An Unprotected Sex?
Question: I had unprotected sex with my ex and a few days after I noticed a single bump with a white head on the back of my testicals. After a week or two it went away. Now 2 months later I have painful itching red rash on either sides of my testicals and between my legs when I walk and when I sweat. Gold bond seems to ease the itching until it wears off from walking. I also get a tingling feeling when I get chills. Is this related to the bump? Should I be worried? Help please
Brief Answer:
sounds like a fungal rash
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It sounds as though you may have a fungal infection. This is not sexually transmitted.
It commonly occurs in areas where there is increased moisture and friction (skin surfaces rubbing against each other). The thighs and genitalia region are common sites.
Persons can also have a rash in the axilla and under the breasts in females.
The treatment involves: (1) keeping the area dry and reducing friction- the powder would help here
(2)anti fungal cream or powder. A powder would be best (such as lotrimin or zeasorb powder) but if it is not available you can use an antifungal cream
These products are normally used twice a day
(3)keeping the area cool - using cotton clothes where possible
(4)using a barrier cream on the surfaces would also reduce friction - eg triple paste
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
