REOCCRING RASH/BUMPS
by 9727june, Jul 10, 2006 12:00AM
I HAVE A QUESTION CONCERNING THAT I AM UNCIRCUMCIZED AND I KEEP GETTING SMALL WHITE LITTLE BUMPS ON THE TIP OF THE SKIN OF MY PENIS. SOMETIMES A RASH WILL COME FIRST DI THE WHITE BUMPS WILL SHOW, BUT THEY DONT HURT AT ALL. I HAD A YEAST INFECTION ONE TIME AND IT SEEMS LIKE ITS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE THEN.I DO HAVE A GIRLFRIEND BUT I NEVER TOLD HER ABOUT IT. THE OTHER DAY IT DID IT AND I PUT SOME YEAST INFECTION CREAM ON IT AND THE RASH WENT AWAY, AND THE LITTE WHITE BUMPS SHOW AND DISAPPEARED. I WENT TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE ONE TIME AT THE BOTTOM OF MY PENIS BY MY HAIRS A RASH CAME UP AND SHE SAID IT WAS JUST FUNGIS. THEY TOLD ME TO JUST SLEEP NAKED AND AIR OUT. BUT I'M CONCERING THE BUMPS THAT KEEP COMING UP. SOMETIMES I FEEL A BURNING SENSATION IN BETWEEN MY LEGS BUT NOTHING NEVER SHOWS UP. I DONT DO I HAVE THE HERPES, OR WHAT? OR WHAT CAN I DO TO GET RID OF THIS?

From your description, it doesn't sound as though you have anything wrong at all. It certainly doesn't sound like a fungus, and even if it were, advice to sleep naked doesn't make a lot of sense. Bumps that come and go don;t sound like a problem at all. I suggest that you show them to a doctor when they're there and haven't been picked at, etc. Most likely, you'll be advised to ignore them.

I would recommend avoiding yeast based white/brown flour foods (bread, crackers..etc) for a few weeks and see how you feel after that. Just check the ingredients in your food for yeast and look for flour alternatives like Spelt, Kamut.
