Recurrent itching and small bumps on the skin at the base of the penis

The male genitals are a very sensitive area. If you don't pay attention to hygiene, it is easy to cause some discomfort. The pimples on the penis are indeed something that is not very public and very worrying. Let's take a closer look.

A lump on the penis may be caused by the following problems:

1Folliculitis

The main pathogens causing folliculitis are Staphylococcus aurantium, and occasionally Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus infection, Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli. It is divided into purulent folliculitis and non-purulent folliculitis. The skin lesions are small bright red rashes, and the top of the head becomes purulent and produces small pustules.

Recommendation: You can use medications such as Bactroban or erythromycin ointment for treatment. It is best to go to the surgery or dermatology department for examination and start treatment after confirming the diagnosis. Pay attention to hygiene at ordinary times.

2. Virus infection

In the early stage, there are mostly tiny reddish papules. The rash gradually increases or expands, and they combine and overlap with each other, forming an uneven nipple shape. Due to different types, the length of infection time, the individual, gender, and location of the infected person, the warts of different sizes and shapes appear. The surface of the wart is generally moist and soft, and it is easy to bleed when touched.

Recommendation: Go to a specialist clinic for examination as soon as possible and take part of the stool for examination to avoid virus replication. In addition, the disease is contagious and should be treated with caution.

3Condyloma acuminatum

There are many clinical cases that prove that male friends infected with genital warts will also have the symptom of penis bumps. The basic harm of male genital warts is initially small dark red bumps of varying sizes, distributed alone or in groups, moist and soft, nipple-like, cockscomb-shaped or cauliflower-shaped protrusions, bright red or dark gray, with pedicles at the root, and easy to produce erosive exudate, easy to bleed when touched. Pus and gas often accumulate in the gaps between skin lesions, causing a foul odor, and secondary infection is caused by scratching. Because the male genital area is constantly exposed to local moisture and chronic irritation, the flesh bumps on the glans penis often grow rapidly.

Recommendation: The growth of fleshy bumps on the glans penis is actually a risk signal. Patients should go to a reliable hospital clinic for examination immediately to find out whether it is genital warts.

4Other Possibilities

There are many types of symptoms of foreign bodies on the sexual organs, the more common ones are pearly penile papules, balanitis, sebaceous cysts at the glans penis, sebaceous gland ectopia, pearly rash, miliary rash, oil granule deposition, etc. The actual diagnosis needs to be confirmed after a doctor's examination.

Recommendation: Go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations, confirm the diagnosis, combine clinical manifestations and test results for medication treatment, and do not blindly follow the trend to take medicine.
