What to do if a small lump grows on the penis

The penis is a relatively important reproductive organ for men. If you do not pay attention to your physical health, it is easy to cause penis diseases. For example, small bumps on the penis are particularly common. Small bumps on the penis may be caused by condyloma acuminatum or diseases such as glansitis. However, no matter what the cause of the small bumps, they need to be taken seriously and effectively treated.

What should I do if a small fleshy pimple grows on my penis?

The small fleshy bumps on the penis are mainly considered to be condyloma acuminatum, sebaceous cysts, balanitis and other problems. The specific cause needs to be checked in person at a public hospital, and then targeted treatment is carried out, which is more effective. Condyloma acuminatum is characterized by a rough surface and a tendency to grow significantly in a short period of time. It can be removed by laser surgery and treated with antiviral drugs; sebaceous cysts are characterized by being under the penis skin, with a smooth surface, and no obvious growth in a short period of time, so no treatment is required; the characteristics of balanitis are small dot-like bumps, accompanied by symptoms such as itching and pain, and can be treated with antifungal drugs.

What are the common symptoms of balanitis?

1. Annular ulcerated glansitis: The symptoms of this type of glansitis are some clear and visible erythema on the glans and foreskin of men, which will gradually expand as the symptoms worsen. They are usually ring-shaped, and sometimes ulcerated if hygiene is not maintained. If you encounter this situation, you must deal with it in time to recover faster.

2. Superficial glansitis: Superficial glansitis is acute and starts locally before slowly spreading. The male's genital skin will become red and swollen, and the glans will feel hot and itchy. If a secondary infection occurs at this time, it is very likely to cause foul-smelling discharge and small ulcers.

3. Candida albicans balanitis: This type of balanitis is mainly caused by Candida albicans infection, which then causes inflammation. Although erythema can be clearly seen on the glans, the surface looks smooth and has some small rashes. In acute attacks, erosion will occur and even some fluid will leak out. Usually, balanitis should be prevented, and balanitis should be treated in time if it is found.
