What to do if you have acne on your penis?

Speaking of the most susceptible part of men, it is the genitals. Nowadays, many men will have acne on their penis. There are many reasons for this, and it is impossible to determine a single reason. However, you should pay attention to both personal hygiene and sexual intercourse. Clean it in time and keep it clean every day.

Penis acne refers to the localized protrusions on the penis that are higher than the skin, which can be as small as a needle or as large as a soybean. This may be a papule, and the symptoms of penile papules are like this. The occurrence of penile papules is mostly due to genital herpes, which has a great impact on male reproductive health, can cause sexual dysfunction and affect normal reproduction. If the disease is not treated in time and controlled, it will also infect sexual partners. It is a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease.

Genital herpes is medically divided into primary and recurrent types, and their symptoms and course of disease are also different. The incubation period of primary genital herpes is 2-7 days. It starts with local redness, burning and slight itching, and quickly evolves into rice-sized red papules, which quickly turn into blisters. After 3-5 days, erosion or shallow ulceration and scabs will form, which are painful and may be accompanied by local lymph node enlargement. The affected area first has a burning sensation in the genital area, which starts with one or more small red papules (most patients have itching and pain), and then quickly turns into small blisters. After 3-5 days, the small blisters will erode or ulcerate and scab, and the patient will feel pain.

The systemic symptoms of recurrent genital blisters are mild, the course of the disease is relatively short, and the skin damage generally subsides in about 10 days. Relapses can also gradually decrease over time, and the number of relapses each year will gradually decrease. The herpes virus enters the human body mainly through the skin, mucous membranes or damaged areas, and first replicates in the epidermal or dermal cells; regardless of whether there are clinical symptoms or not, the virus infects the sensory nerves or autonomic nerve endings after sufficient local replication. The virus enters the nerve cells in the ganglion along the nerve axon, and the infection speed is quite fast; it can also be infected through close contact with the respiratory tract, digestive tract and skin mucous membranes. It is mainly transmitted through sexual behavior and genital contact.

Some men get very panicked when they see acne on their penis, but there is no need to be so nervous. These can be treated through methods. If the condition is very serious, then medication should be taken. If it is very mild, it can be improved according to your habits and diet. Only by regular cleaning and self-cultivation can the symptoms gradually decrease.
