What Do Red Bumps On The Scrotum Indicate?
I have some red bumps on my scrotum and visited a doctor yesterday who prescribed an anti fungal lotion which I used last night. She also recommended to use Lomitrin. Today I am not seeing any improvement still itchy and no decrease in size. The doctor told me it was folliculitis. I am worried it is something else

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If there is a fungal component to your symptoms,it can take up to 3 weeks in some cases for resolution.
Fungal rashes are slow responding.
You may want to consider adding a low dose steroid cream for a few days to help reduce the itching however.
Steroid creams are often combined with fungal creams initially to help with the itching and inflammation.
Hydrocortisone should be available over the counter since it is low strength.
It should be applied twice daily.
I hope this helps
