Folliculitis Scrotum

Folliculitis Scrotum, also known as folliculitis testicles, is a situation when you form acne on ones balls. Since the scrotum contains several pores and follicles, it is common to see a pimple down there once in a while. Most of the time, folliculitis scrotum is completely normal and can be treated since it can be as simple as acne. However, in some other cases, the cause of folliculitis scrotum can be quite complicated since it is a symptom of many STDs and infections.

If your folliculitis scrotum is caused by an STD, there is no way for you to treat it with home remedies like you would normally do with acne on your face. Hence, it is important for you to get tested to see if you have STDs that can be causing acne so that you can start with your appropriate treatment.

You should immediately see a doctor when your folliculitis scrotum shows the following symptoms:

• Pain and irritation around the acne
• Scab formation
• Pain while you pee
• Sores on your anus, penis, buttocks, or thighs
• Irritation on your testicle
• Genital swelling
• Discharge from your penis
• Large blisters that released pus when popped

These symptoms are a sign that you may have an STD. Some of the STDs that can cause folliculitis scrotum are genital herpes, syphilis, genital warts, gonorrhea, HPV, and Chlamydia. All of these STDs are spread through unprotected sex. So, if you have multiple partners and do not use condoms, you are at a high risk of these STDs.

It is worth noting that folliculitis scrotum can be caused without STDs. So just to be on the safe side, it is critical for you to get tested so you can get the right treatment. If you also have any questions about your sexual health, we recommend that you go and talk with a doctor.
