Ringworm???
by Gtyme69, Oct 25, 2009 04:43PM
I'm also looking for answers to this problem. I have facial herpes sometimes but never anything down below.
Spots are all around head of penis. Been with same girl six years, no sex for about a year, and this stuff shows up out of nowhere? Look like tiny hard spot, then spreads out into circle/oval shape,flat and red. Tried fungus creme but seems to be spreading. No pain,itching,burning, puss,nothing. Somewhat shiny, with dry skin after stretched and released. Almost appears to be white ring with the original dot in middle,when skin is stretched, but not on all. Might be raised ever so slightly.Started with 2 on top of head.Most prominant ones under ridge of the head, 2or3 on each side in a row. Smaller than pencil eraser slightly. New ones showing up all over head. It started about 2 or 3 months ago. Unemployed, with no insurance, so any news would be greatly appreciated. May be starting to appear on scrotem.
Thanx
P.S- no pics on net seem to match. But some look like ring worm.

Hello,
Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be contact dermatitis, folliculitis, cysts ,molluscum contagiosum(multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug) or genital warts(caused by HPV infection).
Apply warm compresses, Neosporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it. You can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the lumps persist then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
