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!

I have the same problems im 17 almost 18 this could be anything from scabies to herpes. I am keeping this a secret i plan on getting a job with good insurance so if this ends up being something nasty my parents wont have to know but until then i will shower daily wash my hands after every time i come into contact with the bumps etc etc.. I am prepared for anything after a couple nights of debating suicide and crying my eyes out and thinking about people who have it bad i have bullet proofed my mind i did not come here to give you answers to be honest half of us here will end up with herpes.. im to tell you to stay strong no matter what never give up cuzz there is always some1 out there who has it worse.. For example a little girl down the street 8 years old died of cancer im sitting here planning how i will take my life when a little girl is fighting for hers? Sorry if i came off a little crazy Again stay strong Live long.. Bye :)
my inner thighs really itch and its a bump on my penis head I have the same symptoms u all have I work 16 hr shifts and thr itch had kep me up all threw the night wtf is goin on im n dear need of some answers im scared as fuc if u kno anything pls email me ***@****
I am experiencing all the same symptoms.
Some background on how mine manifested and how it has reacted to several treatments.
Mine initially began with one small however very itchy welt on my armpit. It was not until a few weeks later that I began to develop incredibly painless itchy red bumps on my elbows, forearms, inner and outer thighs, butt cheeks, penis and testicles. My genitals alone have approximately 25 bumps and it seems to look the worst there. When I began to breakout with this I was deployed on a submarine, no contact with pets, pollen, sex or just about every allergen you can think of. Based on my isolation I am ruling out that its an allergic reaction. I shared a rack with one other crew member that had a skin problem as well but his broke out in large clusters and secreted pus where as mine are small red itchy bumps described by many of you. The itchiness was agonizing especially being on a submarine with no where to really distract yourself from it. I spend days awake until I was so exhausted I fell asleep and when I pulled in port I often combined benadryl with alchohol just to knock myself out. I was prescribed doxycillin by my doctor on board which seemed to have no impact. Next we tried calamine lotion, hydrocortizone and anti hystamines. I noticed a small improvement with the antihystamines but not enough to be convinced. Other cortizone lotions offer itch relief but little else and can have negative effects if used frequently. Finally I got my hands on some permethrine and gave that a go. Just as many of you I was told it was not scabies as I did not have any burrows or match any textbook pictures of what scabies looks like. I insisted that I had it and doctors dismissed it. My friend had 5% permethrin cream and I took what he had and applied it once for about eight hours. The itching intensified immensely for about two days but remember that you are basically rubbing an insecticide on your skin. After those two days a lot of the itching stopped but still persists mildly at night. The bumps have just about disappeared on my genitals and arms.
I will treat myself once more with the permethrin and further access. One additional thing is that your body may not display typical symptoms and the reason antihistamines are mildly effective is because your body reacts to by products produced by the scabies i.e. droppings ect. This stuff can remain on your skin for an extended period and even when treatments are successful can prolong the symptoms.
Clean everything, apply the permethrin and don't be afraid to be assertive with doctors.

ATTENTION!!!! READ THIS IF YOU WANT ANSWERES!!!! I have the same symptoms as everyone posting on this, from the red bumps to the itching like crazy, to the few red bumps on the penis. It starts on your thighs and butt and spreads quickly it seems. I went to the first doctor and he said it was a ingrown hair infection (which I didn't believe) and he game me steroid cream... Didn't help. Next doctor took scabies scrapings and said it was negitive and gave me better steroid creams... Didn't help. Then I got tested and the doctor said it wasn't an std and to go back to the dermatologist. I went back and told her instead of steroid cream I want the scabies cream. She then re-scrapped and it was scabies.SCABIES SCABIES SCABIES!!!!!!! Go to a doctor or back to the doctor and tell them to scrape for scabies because you know they are there. If they say it's not that tell them to scarpe again because that's exactly what it is. Don't wait 2 or 3 more months longer in HELL do the scabies can get worse before they find it. If you are tired of being miserable then get off your itchy *** (see how I said that) for real!!! Doctor visit is 80 bucks and meds are 20 and 100 dollars is cheap if your going through what I was going through. Wash all your clothes and bedding and buy the can of live spray for the furniture and your bed. And get permethrin 5% and start living your life again!!!!!
