Itchy White Bumps On The Scrotum. Syphilis? Fludoxycillin Given

i have small white bumps on scrotum up my shaft and spread to anus , they itch and they are not folliculitus cause i got treatment in europe and it didnt do anything, I am affraid it might be warts or syphilus, but doctors over here say its hair follical and when i visited my parents in UK their doc gave me Fludoxycillan 500mg/4x daily and that didnt work so i got Tetralysal (lymecycline) 408mg and thwould have definately worked in a month but it didnt either, so it isnt folliculitus cause if it was they have a cure in europe but not here, anyways I dont know what it is but i have it and it spread all over down there and i need help getting rid of it

Hi ,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for writing in.

the condition you are suffering can be candidiasis,vaginal lichen planus .
As it does not respond to antibiotics it is not folliculitis.
As there is itching it is least likely to be syphilis .Syphilis lesions are usually asymptomatic.
A visit to dermatologist will confirm the diagnosis and allow treatment.
A VDRL test will rule out the syphilis.
Hope this helps.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
