bumps on penis

[titansrule12]

I recently discovered tiny, red bumps on my penis. I went to my GP and was tested for STD's and everything came back negative. I have had the worst anxiety and stress from all of this and cant help ut think something is wrong. After a follow up the Doc said it was getting better so after about a week, i masturbated and it got irritated agaian. I told the doctor the first visit that i had been masturbating alot lately and if its possible that i irritated it from masterbating (masturbating) too much. it doesnt hurt or burn unless i masturbate and touch it. I then stopped masturbating for about a week and it didnt seem to get too much better, though the doctor thought it did. Am i worrying too much about it and making it worse by doing so? i just cant take the stress anymore.

Hi,

This is a condition called balanitis.Balanitis is inflammation of the glans penis. Lack of aeration and irritation because of smegma and discharge surrounding the glans penis causes inflammation and edema.More common in uncircumcised males.

It is usually caused by poor hygiene in uncircumcised men. The inflammation can be due to infection, harsh soaps, or failure to properly rinse soap off while bathing.
One common organism associated with balanitis is a yeast known as Candida albicans.  Balanitis may occur because of excessive growth of Candida, due to moisture and warmth under the foreskin.

It can be treated by applying Miconazole, an anti-fungal medication.Most cases of balanitis can be controlled with medicated creams and good hygiene.

Inflammation has many possible causes, including irritation by environmental substances, physical trauma, and infection by a wide variety of pathogens, including bacteria, virus, or fungus—each of which require a particular treatment.

Retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin. Apply bacitracin (not Neosporin) for pediatric patients if bacterial infection is suspected.
Apply topical clotrimazole for adult men with probable candidal balanitis.

If the symptoms persist, you would need to consult your doctor.

Let us know if you need any other information.

Regards.

i am circumsized, and i have been applying goldbond skin treatment and that didnt help. I am going to a different doctor today to see if he can tell me whats wrong, or to diagnose my anxiety problems. I am usually very good at cleaning myself too, but i do handle money all day, so i was afariad i picked something up on my hands and possibly spread it down there from masturbation. if i dont touch it for a few days it gets better, but i want this completely gone, i hate thinking something is wrong with my body.
