What Causes Papules On Scrotum?
My son is 4. I am extremely concerned about a sudden outbreak of what looks like warts or boils on his scrotum. It started as 1 now it s 5. This has happened over the past 7 days. His pediatrian says it s popules and told me to use triple antibiotic ointment. I have been for 3 days. Nothing has changed except the most recent one has gotten to be about the size of all the rest. They all started out looking like a fire ant bite but he has not been bitten. Not even a option. They are all now the size of a wart or larget mole. They do not itch or hurt.

Hi...it can be scabies or eczema. I suggest you see a dermatologist for it. But, Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
