Can I Use Calamine Lotion To Get Rid Of Rash On Scrotum After Orchiopexy Surgery?
Age 20, had right orchiopexy surgery. After a month later I developed a rash on my scrotum which my doctor prescribed me rash cream. The cream worked to an extent and soon I ran out. Then a month later I had caught an bacteria infection which I got treated in time before it spread. It is out of my system but the rash remains. I started using calamine lotion on my rash and it healed it to some extent then I noticed I was developing pink bumps on my scrotum. I'm calling my doctor first thing tomorrow morning but are these happenings common?

Hi.
As per your case-history there are certain things which needs to be asked.
Whether rash is itching? Whether it is filled with pus? Whether it started after using certain cream?
As far as calamine lotion is concerned it will just provide sympotomatic relief, it wont cure it.
So it lesion is pustular use antibiotic cream or lesion is itching and non-pus filled use a antibiotic-steroid cream (Fusiderm-b)
If relief not obtained than consult a dermatologist
Thanks.
