mesq. lookin bump on scrotum

by js5051, Jul 05, 2008 01:00PM
about a month ago i got a red mesq bite lookin bump on my left testicle and it went away after a week or so. I shaved my testicles and had sex that night and it came back. I dont know if its from that or what its from. The bump really isnt white, more of just a red lump.  It doesnt pop or leak fluid but it kinda itches and is a little uncomfortable. any suggestions?

Hi,
It could be folliculitis.Folliculitis is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles. The condition may occur anywhere on the skin.
Folliculitis starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing, blockage of the follicle, shaving.In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph).
It may present as pimples or pustules located around a hair follicle that may crust over
typically occuring  on neck, axilla, or groin area.
Topical antiseptic treatment is adequate for most cases.
Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment can be applied to the affected areas.
