Just another update these have now gone down again and not as red, can still see tiny pimples but dont stand out as much. Tip feels slightly itchy every now and then, mostly when I start thinking about it. Im really worried on why they appear and disapper so quickly.
Since last comment had an outbreak of red pimples on top part of penis head, these have come and gone before. Do you have any idea why they are re-occurring.
I am wasjhing penis in shower without soap, have around 15-20 little inflamed pimple like spots now
Welcome to the Dermatology Expert Forum and thank you for posting your health concern. We are glad to hear that lesions are healing.
Multiple small papulo-pustules (bumps) with local erythema (reddness) on glans penis, could be caused by quite a few factors/diseases: poor hygiene; irritation due to friction, or use of irritating topical products including soap (especially if not properly washed off); pustular psoriasis (typically lesions have circular distribution); candidiasis (yeast infection); lichen sclerosus, etc.
It is not recommended to apply random therapy before correct diagnosis is established by a physician.
Wishing You Optimal Health and Happy Holidays,
Dr. Jasmina Jankicevic
HI
Just to clarify since stopping the Altargo treatment the inflammation has dissappeared and no longer do I have white pus filled spots. It seems to be healing nicely.
However really concerned in what it could have been.
