Itchy balls, tiny spots (x5) inner thigh, ocassional spot on the root of penis??? - Men's Health Message Board

I have these symptoms: Itchy balls, tiny spots (x5 + very small and hard) inner thigh, ocassional spot on the root of penis (when squeezed - a small hard perfectly spherical ball comes out and it bleeds quite a lot for a minute or so).

I've check all the pictures of STD's on google and nothing looks the same.

The spots on my thighs go and then come back, usually in the same place and only on the left thigh - these are non painful but hard (much smaller and more pointy than Molluscum spots)

The itch tends to go away with athletes foot cream, but tends to come back on an evening.

The ocassional spot in my pubic area and root of penis - has a hard central core - when popped out is about the same size as a pin head.

Anybody know what's going on with me???

Can it be an STD?

I need some advice quick

You need to get to a doc. This could be anything, from an STD to skin cancer, to acne. Or it could be nothing. A doctor is the best person to advise you.

Make an appointment now, don't wait.

Good luck.

Sounds like in-grown hairs/clogged pores. It is very common. If when you squeeze them a little ball comes out that looks or feels like wax, then yeah thats what it is. I can't recall any STD that has little balls come out.

pcantona, thanks for the tip, you are bang on! I had the same thing about 10 years ago, it went away but I did squeeze and that is what came out. Makes me feel better knowing what that was so long ago.

Sounds like mild jock itch to me. Athletes' foot cream is generally too strong to use in your groin. Make sure that you are keeping that area clean and dry. Wash using an antibacterial soap. I prefer Sport Hair and Body for athletes sold by wrestling supply stores on the internet, but any anti-bacterial soap should help. If you are not doing much physical labor then wear boxers instead of briefs. If you are doing physical labor, you need the briefs to help keep you from getting pains in that area.

Get some Gold Bond body powder, not the foot powder, and apply it to the area frequently. If you need to wear briefs because of you are physical activity then cover the double fabric area on your briefs with it before you pull them up. Do this several times a day; it will keep you dry down there. Depending on you activity level and how much you sweat, you may be able to back off this some over time.

Never sleep in briefs. If I do, I really get the itch. Wear something loose like sleep pants or boxers to bed.

Please keep us posted on this thread about how you are doing.
