What Causes Razor Bumps Below The Penis Despite Using Clindamycin And Savlon?

Hi, I am experiencing razor bumps at the base of my penis and a doctor friend prescribed clindamycin and the use of savlon to bath and apply some at the affected areas. I have in about two days now realized the emergence of new bumps. Could it be that the infections that were hidden under my skin are now coming out or it s a reaction caused by the savlon or the drug itself. Please I need more insight about this.

Hi,

If you had any recent Sex we can think of STI or if it's just on its own no sex involves it can be due to
- Acne, Fordyce spots - which develop when skin's pores are clogged with natural oil, called sebum, sweat, dead skin, it can also cause infection
- Skin tag – it's normal, happens in age advances
- Lichen planus
- Ingrown hair which is painful can leads to infection, needs medical management
- Rough Masturbation/Sex
- Bullous Impetigo- bacterial infection due to bad hygiene or use of public pools, towels
- Pemphigus – its autoimmune disease can be diagnosed by Blood investigation

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
