Hello...I had heat rash on my face several days ago, then a couple of days later my scrotum and foreskin became inflamed and swollen...I went to see a doctor who prescribed an antibiotic and some bacterial cream but nothing has changed after several days. Can you advise or suggest anything? Thank you. Richard
Hi I am Chat Doctor and I will help you with your problem have gone through your question. I need some further information to reach a suitable diagnosis-How you noticed the swelling?- Is Swelling in the scrotum or extending above into the abdomen?- Is it painful and does pain aggravates or relieves on elevating the scrotum?- Does the swelling transilluminate?Anyhow, with available information it appears to be orchids or epididymo-orchitis. If a patient walk into my clinic with similar complaints I will investigate the case with blood complete picture, urine routine examination, and ultrasound scrotum. After making diagnosis and if it appears to orchids or epididymoorchitis, I usually prescribe tab ciprofloxacin 500\u00a0mg 1tab 12hourly, cap doxycycline 100\u00a0mg 12hourly, paracetamol 500\u00a0mg 2tab 8hourly and scrotal support. Patients are usually symptom free in 5-7days. I hope it will help you. Do rate my answer if you like it. Regards
