Suffering With A Redness To The Scrotum, Extended Halfway Up The Shaft Of My Penis, No Pain. Cause And Cure?

hi i have been suffering for the last two weeks with a redness to the scrotum which is also extended halfway up the shaft of my penis . No pain just a very occasional itch . When it first started intensely hot and i used tea tree oil cream for two days which cooled it. I then realised that was probably not a good think. Went to pharmacist and she suggested canestin cream. Used that for a week but no change. Then saw a doctor on Tuesday who prescribed Travocort cream - a steroid- have been using that 3 times a day but it seems to be making the redness worse and it is now extended further up the shaft of my penis. I am at my wits end -I am going to Slovenia next week for a week. I dont know whether to continue with the steroid cream or discontinue. I am now getting really worried that it has gone on for so long

Hello,
thanks for using health care magic
What you have is termed bleeding in first half of pregnancy and it has diverse causes. Causes could be classified into those that affect normal pregnancy and those that result from abnormal pregnancy.

For normal pregnancies, bleeding could be a threatened abortion or other forms of abortion resulting from either luteal insufficiency, infections or other causes. Duphaston is used to substitute for progesteron in the case of luteal insufficiency.

You will need to maintain close communication with your Obstetrician and do a urine test and ultrasound to rule out possible causes that could account for the bleeding.

Hope this helps you. If you have more query do not hesitate to address to me as i will be waiting.
Best regards
