IVe had these tiny white bumps on my scrotum only where the hair comes out of the skin. And on my penis. I ve had this as long as I can remember. I went in to the dermatologist today for an spot on my arms effected by eczema. He described foliculitis to me and I started putting 2&2 together and I was wondering if that s what I have. Can you help?

Hi

Most probably the lesions you described may be folliculitis. It is an infection of hair follicle. There may be whitish or yellowish papulo pustules. The lesions may be painful and irritating. It may be due to poor hygiene and poor immunity. You consult dermatologist again to have thorough examination and investigations for firm diagnosis.

I would suggest antibiotics for few weeks with anti inflammatory drugs. Apply antibiotic cream. Improve hygiene and immunity.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks..
