Why Does My Penis Have Spots After Shaving And Scrotum Is Inflamed And Itchy?

Good morning doctor. I shaved my penis recently and started developing spots all over. I used an anti-bacteria cream: Funbact-A and every morning before having my bath, I washed my penis with a little disinfectant. Now the skin of my scrotal sac is folding, it is also inflamed and itchy, please what do I do?

Hi and thank you for your question.

It seems as if you have an inflammatory reaction to the skin of your penis and scrotum. This happens commonly after shaving the pubic area for the first time.

I would suggest you stop using the antibacterial products seeing that this isn't an infection and you could possibly cause bacterial resistance to these products as well.

I also suggest you use hydrocortisone 0.5% over the affected area daily for the next 7-10 days until the inflammation has subsided.

I hope this helps and good luck.
