I have a grey spot on my scrotum at the base of my penis. It is not raised and does not itch, I noticed it after using nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide cream. I was directed to use the cream for 4 weeks due to a bacterial infection after going to a water park. These lines are similar to the stretch marks on my penis but these seem to extend onto the scrotum. Could these have been caused by the Nystatin as I read it thins the skin and can cause stretch marks. Also my wife has been told several years ago she has HPV this was what concerned me after seeing these grey marks.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. The cream you prescribed is for the fungal infection and not for the bacterial infection. Yes an antifungal cream with steroid can cause you skin thinning, but such incident occurs after only a long time usage. Yes there is chance of HPV in you as your wife is having the same. I advise you to direct your treatment towards the HPV. Both the partner should be treated simultaneously. Please start using condom at the time of intercourse. It will prevent cross infection. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
