itchy red bumps on penis/thighs/butt cheeks
hey Im very curious.. I have noticed itchy bumps on my inner thighs/ butt cheecks and penis.. I have been to 2 doctors and they said that it doesnt seem to be any sort of std.. but also they havent seen it at its worst.. i was subscribed 1% cortizone cream.. i think thats what its called.. I have been using it for about 3-4 weeks now and the little bumps on my penis head have gone away but now i have noticed an itchy bump on the side of my penis which is a bit bigger.. also there is a bump on the edge of my penis head that had peeled and gone away for a few days and re-appeared in the exact same spot which seems to have formed as a bump/scar(not as itchy)...
...i have very itchy bumps on my inner thighs and butt cheeks that seem to be getting worse. I also notice very very very very small blister type bumps on my fingers that i have popped and released some sort of fluid.. the bumps on my penis/butt/thighs do not seem to have any fluid in them.. just very itchy and red.. I have had sexual intercourse about 3 to 4 months ago.. and have noticed these irritations about 2 months ago.. can masterbation cause it to get worse?..
i was told by a friend that it may be bed bugs?.. is that possible? (fleas? or no?.. i do have a dog that may very well have fleas)..
what does it seem to be?.. i have also noticed little bite lookin bumps on the side of my stomach which look similar to the itchy bumps on my thighs and butt but only smaller. I am very concerned because i have been using the cream as told and the issue does not seem to be getting better at all. Any ideas on what it may be? IM SO ITCHY! and it looks so ugly!

It sounds to me like a lot people in this thread had the same symptoms I had. I had a severe itching on the inside of my thighs, then my pubic area at my waistline, then my butt. Then the bumps appeared...
I went to a clinic and I explained that a few of my friends had the same thing and that some were sexual partners. He said it was scabies right away. But he prescribed me Permathrin 1% and that's where he went wrong...
2 bottles of Permathrin 1% and 6 months later, the bumps were still there. No new ones, the same ones that were there from the get go. I waited so long because I was embarrassed and the behavior of the bumps were irregular. Sometimes they would flatten and I thought they were going away and then the next week they'd rise up again and itch like hell. My friend's symptoms had all cleared up, but mine hadn't. So I went to my dermatologist and I explained EVERYTHING to him. He thought it was a bacteria infection just by looking at it and before hearing me out. So really make your doctor listen to you. He did a skin scraping on one of the bumps on my pubic area. Turns out it was scabies. He even showed it to me under his microscope. However, what I had and what most of these posts sound like are not regular scabies. My doctor told me I had NODULAR scabies. Meaning they were now under the skin and that's why the topical treatments I was using weren't very effective and he told me that the other doctor should have prescribed me Permathrin 5% and I might not have been suffering for so long. He also prescribed me pills to take. I forgot the name of the pill. He told me that it was pretty much the same pill they give to dogs to rid them of scabies. They were four small pills and I was told to take them all at once. So when you go to your doctor/dermatologist, ask about this.
I did the treatment 2 months ago and the bumps have gone away drastically. All the ones on my butt, penis, pubic area have disappeared completely. The ones on the insides of my thighs have started to clear up and are rarely itchy. They are about 1/4 of the size of what they were. I went in for a follow up and showed him that the ones on my thighs were still there. He told me that I shouldn't worry because we nuked the scabies with the treatment he gave me. He told me that it is very common for people recovering from scabies that the bumps can stay for up to 4 months and to be patient. I told him they still itch a bit occasionally and he said my immune system is so out of wack trying to fight this off for so long and that a topical antihistamine cream would help. He also told me to take an antihistamine pill everyday for a month. Its been three weeks since that follow up and the pills and cream seem to be helping. One or two bumps still get irritated a bit but its not nearly as severe as when it first started. He told me to come back in a month if I'm not completely cleared up. I have one more week til then so I'll follow up here what he has to say if the bumps aren't 100% gone by then.
Good luck everyone. And remember its not going to fix itself. You need to see a dermatologist and get treated. Don't let embarrassment get in the way of your health! I went crazy for 6 months and it could have been a lot less time suffering if I had just went to a proper dermatologist to begin with. Get rid of your scabies and get on with your lives.

I have the same red bumps on my butt cheeks too! I also find that they do in fact get alot worse at night, and some nights I can't sleep! Iv done some researching and I might have herpes, you might want to consider getting tested because the herpes virus can lay dermant for a long time.
