Patient's question:
What are the white bumps on the scrotum?Doctor's answer:
Bumps on the scrotum are caused by balanitis. Balanitis is often triggered by pathological factors such as scrotal injury, urinary extravasation, and diabetes, with damp scrotum being the primary cause of various bacterial infections. The type of bacteria cannot be determined on its own, and a formal urological examination is required to identify the causative bacteria for further treatment. For smaller areas of balanitis, I recommend using clotrimazole. The skin of the penis is delicate, so harsh medications should not be used during treatment. If the condition does not improve after prolonged treatment or if the area is large and widespread, oral itraconazole 200mg can be taken once daily for 5 consecutive days.
