What is the cause of small pimples on the foreskin?

When a man's foreskin has abnormalities, it is necessary to check it out in time. Many men do not seek treatment when they find that they have abnormalities in their foreskin. This is of no benefit to themselves. There are many common foreskin diseases. If they are not treated after discovery, many problems will arise. What is the cause of small bumps on the foreskin? Many people do not understand this. Let me introduce it in detail below.

What causes small pimples on the foreskin?

This small bump is medically called a small papule. It is a small reddish papule that appears around the glans penis at the coronal sulcus of the penis. Pearly penile papulosis is characterized by smooth papules with a diameter of about 1-2 mm, arranged in rows at the coronal sulcus, and exists for a long time without increasing or enlarging, and without any conscious symptoms. This is a normal condition, not a sexually transmitted disease, and does not require treatment.

In addition, small pimples on the foreskin are more likely to be caused by genital infectious diseases such as balanitis and glansitis. Common causes of glansitis include infection from unclean sexual life, excessive foreskin, invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, poor local hygiene, etc. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness, regular life, light diet, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and irritating food, and go to a regular hospital in time for external genital secretions, bacterial culture and other related examinations to clarify, and cooperate with treatment according to the doctor's instructions based on the examination results.

There are usually no conscious symptoms on the foreskin. They are often found suddenly after bathing or unclean sexual intercourse and are easily misdiagnosed as condyloma acuminatum. The histopathological findings are the same as those of vulvar pseudo-warts, with papillary protrusions in appearance, mild hypertrophy of the mucosal epithelium, and vacuolar appearance similar to normal mucosa in the middle and upper parts of the epithelium. The size and shape of the vacuoles are consistent, the cell nuclei are not darkly stained, condensed, and the mucosal epithelium is wrapped in loose connective tissue. The capillaries in the connective tissue proliferate and dilate, and there are a few lymphocytes infiltrating. Polymerase chain reaction tests for human papillomavirus are all negative, so it is not a sexually transmitted disease. It can be differentiated from genital warts based on clinical, histopathological and human papillomavirus examinations, and the diagnosis is not difficult.

After understanding the cause of small bumps on the foreskin, medication is a good choice for treating small bumps on the foreskin. If the problem is serious, you should choose a variety of treatments, which will be very helpful in controlling the foreskin bumps. At the same time, during this period, men should not have sex to avoid transmitting the problem to women.
