Can Constant Itching On Hips, Buttocks And Scrotum And Red Bumps On Shaft Of Penis Be Indications Of STD?
I constantly itch on my hips, buttocks, inner thighs and scrotum. The itching has turned into small red bumps with no discharge. However, I did get a larger bump on the shaft of my penis and two on my buttocks. The bumps are hard and have no discharge. This happened to me about two and a half months ago, and while my doctor didn't completely agree that it was scabies, he still prescribed Permethrin. This helped, and I washed everything in my home. Now it is back. Could this be an STD, and not Scabies?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You are getting the itching all over the waist, the most probable cause may be the fungal infection called the ring worm.
It also may be the allergic reaction, due to some foods, cosmetics, soap, or the material of the under garments.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms citrizine, grisofulvin, and a cream containing a steroid, anti fungal and anti bacterial.
First time it is cured by permithrine, but at that also your doctor didn't agree, any how it is cured. May be it is scabies at that time.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
