do i have somthing serious

The other week I had intercorse and before I did I shaved my lower shaft the same night Noticed a bump on my scrodum above my testicles on the right side not knowing what it was I rumbed it. It then became irratated my 1st thought was it had somthing to do with the hair being ripped out or friction so not knowing what to do i put some baby powder on it then i tryd to keep it as dry as possible that caused the area to get raw which was a dry ichy crakly feeling so with that bothering me i tryed to fix it by putting on some "Calohist Clear" skin protectant arter experamenting with that the area was no longer raw but it became sensitive and some skin came of making it scab alittle I then noticed it was moving towards my right testical so i went to the clinic and told them to give me every test possible the only test result i got back so far was a simple urine test which came bac good. the rash looks like  red swealing with white heads and it crusted over lightly twice warm water seems to allow the(white) puss to come out slightly the pain isent extreame its just an ichy irratation.Thers no discharge or burning while i pee but my right lymph node was allitle swole and slightly inflamed I confused it for a mustle ach and i have no flue like symtoms (symptoms) or any other symtoms (symptoms) whats your call doc???

Hello,

Without examination,confirming a diagnosis is tough but it can be due to sweat dermatitis,allergic contact dermatitis(a delayed hypersensitivity reaction (the reaction to the allergen occurs 48–72 hours after exposure) ,folliculitis, eczema(a form of chronic dermatitis) ,fungal infections or sexually transmitted infections.

Eczema is a form of chronic dermatitis (rash).Allergic reaction is one of the important causes of eczema. Allergic reaction can occur to strong soaps, Solvents, chemicals, certain foods, food additives, plants, metals, cosmetics, even urine and faeces of some animals (dust mites).Folliculitis is inflammation of one or more hair follicles. It starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing, blockage of the follicle, or shaving.

I sincerely advise you to consult a dermatologist and discuss these possibilities with him.Treatment for all is different.
Till then wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin.Also wear cotton undergarments.

I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
