What Could Cause Spot On The Skin Under The Scrotum ?
Hey, I have a spot on the skin just under the scrotum that is sometimes itchy. It looks like a circle with darker skin on the inside. It only itches on occasion and doesn't hurt. It's been there for a few months and hasn't gone away. I'm starting to think it's ringworm but it's only has a diameter of about 1cm and isn't red. The outline of the circle has a small ridge around the whole perimeter. I'm 21 years old, 173cm tall, 145lb. Healthy medical history. Never had sexual intercourse. Also, small bumps on the skin around the head of penis that don't itch or hurt. They're slightly brighter than normal skin color and blend in to the skin around them making them hard to see. Can you help me identify the two these things for me? Thanks.

Hai,
Thanks for using health care magic. what you have under the scrotum might be a fungal infection(ring worm) as you suspect.You can try antifungal creams and try to avoid moisture in that area.Personal hygeine to be taken care.If it is not resolving, Dermatologist consultation will help.
The other one you have on the penis is a normal skin condition, 1/3 of all males will have.Tiny bumps over the ridge of penis is a normal skin condition, for which you need not worry. no treatment is suggested for that usaully.
