Strange "Rash"
I just recently had alot of blood work done and a STD test was also done wich came up clean.
What I am concerned about is that I have a few yellow spots that resemble small zits on my penis.
They don't itch or get bigger or smaller, what can this be?

Hi,
Are these spots found directly over your penis?
Do these spots involve the head of the penis?
One differential for this is a folliculitis.
"Folliculitis usually caused by staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) is common in the follicle rich genital region. Typically, patients have several 1-2 mm pustules, each centered around a hair follicle. Careful exam may show a hair follicle extending out of the pustule. Note, the lesions are not grouped nor are they usually unilateral like genital herpes. Folliculitis can occur anywhere on the genitals though less common on the distal penis due to absence of follicles. Heat and sweat are aggravating factors. Patients may give a history of a new exercise routine or wearing synthetic jogging pants that retain perspiration. Patients will respond to topical or oral antibiotics directed toward S.aureus. A mainstay of treatment is antibacterial soaps."
