What Causes Itching In Pubic Area Which Spread To Rest Of Body?

about 2/3 months ago my pubic area started becoming itchy at night time, eventually after scratching th itch spread to my arms, stomach, ankles and the back of my legs. one or two weeks later i started getting pimple like spots just less than 1cm in width and red in colour first on my scrotum and then eventually a couple along my shaft. these pimple like spots are not whiteheads and when i tried to pop them they became even itchier, more red and irritated. i went to my GP he gave me fucudin H to apply to the spots. This cream helped fade the spots but the itchiness remained. the spots cleared with th use of the cream but a couple of weeks after th treatment they returned. I currently have 4-5 itchy spots on my shaft and scrotum and am continously itchy on my stomach arms legs, nearly everywhere. they look so ugly and i feel embarassed and uncomfortable about them 24/7 i need this gone. Any advice wud be appreciated! by the way im 18 and its not an std cos i havnt had sex yet and prob never will if this keeps up.. thanks

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to fungal infection. If you send a picture then it will be more helpful to identify. For such cases i advise ointments with combination of anti fungal agents like miconazole and corticosteroid like miconazole. I also advise fluconazole tab weekly once orally to stop recurrence. The recurring spots on penis can be fordyce spots. That is harmless. Using garlic more in food and atioxidants will help to to get rid off it. It is better to show a dermatologist and rule out.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
