Treatment
Hi, I have had little red dots on the tip and towards the top of the shaft of my penis . They do not hurt or itch but they are just there. I am wondering what it is and what i can do to treat it so it will go away. I have had a girlfriend for a year now and she is the only one i have had sex with. Doing some research i am starting to think i have balanitis but am not sure. What are some things i can do to treat this and get these little red bumps to go away.

The possibility of balanitis is less likely from your symptoms. It can be due to dermatitis, friction rub or chafing skin. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin.Also wear cotton undergarments.Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful.If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.
