Folliculitus?

[Chris3108]

Anyone know what this red patch is on top of my shaft/pubic area? Docs have given me antibiotics for 10 days as they said it’s folliculitis ? It’s really itchy!!

It's an inflamation of the hair follicles (google).

Is that a bunch of pimple like spots close together that look like a big red spot?

If not you have something else.

[Chris3108 in reply to Hidden]

I’m not sure it’s itchy and it’s in my pubes ...

[Hidden in reply to Chris3108]

It’s probably best to shave completely to see if it improves?

[Chris3108 in reply to Hidden]

I think shaving has made this happened ? It says folliculitus is caused by shaving and I did that then this came up ?

[Hidden in reply to Chris3108]

thats ok...i had a area of skin taken away from the base of my cock,they said it was pre-cancerous i.e if left alone later on could turn into cancer,i had 14 stitches 2 weeks later and its still sore.but if yours is only a rash then its something esle

[Chris3108 in reply to vespass180]

[vespass180]
