Patient's question:
I noticed a pimple growing between my anus and testicles. When I first discovered it, it wasn't painful or itchy, but now there's a slight pain when I press lightly. I've had treatment for anal warts for 2 months! Is this folliculitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on the information you have described, there is no visible genital warts in the pictures. This condition is more likely to be folliculitis, primarily characterized by local redness, swelling, and pain. It is recommended to apply povidone-iodine and Bactroban ointment externally, twice a day. Avoid eating fish, shrimp, and seafood, as well as spicy foods, and do not consume alcohol. Wear cotton underwear and loose shorts. The condition of the testicles tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital promptly. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and maintain good personal hygiene.
