Suggest Treatment For Pimples On The Penis
Question: I found two pimples on my penis tonight.
Brief Answer:
Looks like folliculitis! Observe only for now and report progress!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these pimples that you have reported. I have reviewed this information fully and it is suggestive of a possible hair follicle infection. If this is in fact the case, they will heal spontaneously within 3-5days. If it fails or develops t produce small wounds, at that time we can become concerned about possible STD such as herpes, though unlikely at this time. Also, what is your sexual life like? How many sexual partners? Unprotected sexual encounters? All this will weigh into making a more precise call and helpful recommendations.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask of more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
This can occur everywhere with a hair follicle!

Hi,
This can actually occur anywhere on the body. I will suggest that you monitor and report the progress to me so that I can evaluate further and provide more details.
