What Causes Itching And Pimples Between Legs?
I have some kind of itchy-ness between my legs. They look like some kind of pimples or whatever. They're like red and very itchy. They're next to my balls. Both sides. Is there a way I can remove them? They're very annoying!
Also, my balls itch sometimes, as well.
They only appeared a few weeks ago. Maybe it could be an allergy or somewhat close? But I have never had an allergy before.

Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
The condition you described is called Nodular scabies. Its a kind of parasitic infestation caused by a mite.
Consult a dermatologist, who would prescribe you oral drugs like ivermectin and antihistaminics. Also, apply a cream containing 5% permethrin, below neck onwards to cover whole body followed by bath in warm water after 8 hours. Do not repeat the same unless advised. Ideally, everyone in the family and close physical contact should be examined and treated in similar way to prevent recurrence.
Launder clothes and beddings in warm water.
Maintain proper hygiene.
Hope this will take care of your issue
Thank you
