What Causes Red And Painful Bumps On Penis Head After Swimming?
I just came back from swimming in the ocean in panama city beach Florida and I have small red painful bumps on the head of my penis.there is one on the rim that s a little bigger than the rest. When I came home and got undressed to shower I notice seaweed on the head and when I removed the seaweed I saw the red bumps. Earlier today I noticed pain on the head but thought it was just my bathing trunks. I have never had anything like this before in my life and they hurt. Please help!

Hello
Thanks for query.
You have developed allergic reaction to seaweed(Ballanitis),
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.
Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
Do not worry this will get cured within a week,
Dr.Patil.
