About a month and a half ago I started noticing a small red bump on my penis and a week later it started growing and I noticed 2 more, then thay started itching. After 2 weeks later and applying steroids, itch cream, benedryl and other stuff it wasnt showing any signs of relief and started spreading around the pelvic and thigh region and little itch here and there around the body. So I went to the doctor to get it checked he said it was chiggers and to use nail polish, so I followed his instructions and no relief from itching if it was chiggers I'm sure they died because I drenched myself in nail polish? Still Itchy and its worse I now have it everywhere butt, armpits, under belly button, in belly button, scrotum, knees, thighs, between fingers, little dots/bumps everywhere The only time it stops itching is when I stay in the bath, but when I get out its bad again, I know its not a rash because it keeps spreading, I am not sexually active I'm only 16. What do I do? It's Been 2 Months?

I had the same problem and I went to the doctors and was first diagnosed with hives was told to take predisone for 5 days and it never cleared so I went again and was told this time is was Scabies you might want to ask your doctor if it is in fact scabies so that you can be treated!! Dont worry scabies are just dust mites that like your skin for there home. Look up to see some pics of scabies and compare!!GOOD LUCK!

I'm pretty sure this is probably an allergy. Try changing your laundry soap. If that doesn't work, ask the doctor to test you for allergens. It could be something you're eating, drinking, wearing, a cologne or aftershave...any number of things. If the doctor does not find an allergen, try cutting things out one by one until the bumps stop.

Oatmeal bath, benedryl and try to find out what has changed in your environment. Soap, foods, vitamins, anything you apply to your body or ingest. Since it started in your genitals I would look to toilet paper or is it possible you have measles or chicken pox? Those diseases usually are the worst in warm areas of the body, although 2 months is unheard of for a timeline for the viruses.
