Sores on the ring of penis

I am suffering with some kind of sores( not even named as sores) but very very minute sores on the  ring of penis.They never improve in their size and do not even harm also occurred.I studied somewhere about pearly penile papules but this is not the case happening with me. When I make my penis enlarged in size , I may sometimes notify these minute sores and sometimes never found them. I thought at that time that they were healed.But not so.. I am in a opinion tat these r not really sores but appeared to be like sores due to some eruptions(changes) in the skin foldings.

Please kindly help me out of this situation and suggest me some remedy.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your predicament. But please post this query in the appropriate forum, you will get a better feedback.

The causes for the lesions on the penile head are dryness, yeast infections, herpes, sexually transmitted diseases, genital warts, allergies and balanitis. They could also be cysts and infected hair follicles. If there is accompanying swelling, redness, discharge and fever it is most probably an infection. You may need to consult your primary care physician who will examine you and may ask for blood tests to initiate appropriate therapy.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Sampy, as you said at first, it could not be an STD.
So a dermatologist would be better suited to treat this, in my opinion.
Wishing you well.

It is difficult to  get an more accurate answer  for all this without having a proper physical observation and evaluation by a  dermatologist.
Unscented creams and ointments are always better than scented as they would be more pure and  potentially less reactive.
Should you have more concerns, or the symptoms persist, you should
see perhaps a dermatologist.
Wishing you well.

In my 30s and I got the cream directly  from my pharmacist
- who was a friend- in a plain container (no name).
Just ask for zinc oxide ointment and they'll know.
- it is popular for baby skin rash-
- but make sure it is unscented!
Also perspiration could likely exasperate the irritation.
Wishing you well.

Hi sampy.
I had a similar problem in my younger days that was not related to STDs.
And I used a Zinc Oxide ointment unscented and without any additives.
That cleared everything up relatively fast.
Good hygiene and cleanliness are very important!
Make sure you're wearing breathable-organic if possible- cotton underwear.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Niko

It would be best to see a doctor about this problem, as it may or may not be STD related.

It could be that these sores ARE from friction, or you are having a reaction to something, but if that were the case you would probably see them in other areas as well.

Have you tried applying an ointments or creams to the affected area?
