Can The Diagnosed Pityriasis Rosia Spread To Penis As Well?
Hello about 3 days ago I was diagnosed with pityrasis rosea(apologize if spelt wrong). I ve had it for about a month and a half all over my inner thighs and a good amount of bumps on my arms and lower stomach. Where im concerned is my penis. There is 3 big bumps on the top of it and about 5 in my pubic hair area. All the bumps are bigger than the ones around my hips stomach and arms.I thought pityasis rosea didn t spread to the penis. I dont know if its scabies or what please help.

Hi,
Pityriasis rosea is uncommon on penis and glans. And you said bumps are there on penis and pubic area. So, it may not be pityriasis rosea. It may be scabies.
Ivermectol 12 mg tab may be taken once a week, antihistaminics and antibiotics may improve the disease. Permethrin cream application may be helpful. Improve hygiene. You might get relief from the bumps on genital areas. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
