Suggest Remedy For Red Lesions On Penis
Question: I have bump penis, it is red lesion , some have turned different color darkended skin. I have pics. Can you tell what possible of it.
Brief Answer:
Benign lesion, fordyce spots and fungal belly button / candida
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Bumps on penis are mostly benign and in your case they appear to be benign as well likely due to clogged sebaceous pores also called fordyce spots. Maintenance of good hygiene, abstinence from friction activities like masturbation and using lubricant during coitus helps. If you don't have any symptom or discomfort , ignore it. I cans ee your worries in previous questions regarding genital warts, these are not warts so no worries for that.
Bump on belly button is likely a fungal and yes yeast / candida is possibility. Usually belly button has its own rich sebaceous gland supply at base of hair follicles and they themselve can get clogged and lead to such whitish bumps. That can lead to bacterial infection of staph etc but that is accompanied by pain as well as fever.
Nutshell, its likely yeast but needs a visit to a dermatology clinic and get some medications accordingly would be wise .
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.

The bump by the tips seem to start very small two months ago, progress slowly, now become alot bigger, it seem to grow a little bigger each day, before i had a patch that grow bigger then just suppress leaving pigmented skin... Now this is growing in size, look double in size compare to last week.... I am afraid them to be wart? Look like this is a spread from the area that was pigmened now below the tip. Does genital wart would look like this?
Brief Answer:
Not wart

Thank you for getting back to me
As i mentioned earlier, these are not warts. Genital warts have different presentation and not like this. These bumps are merely more likely fordyce spots and just need hygiene reassurance and reconsideration. Your doctor, other doctors on this forum and me altogether think it is not wart.
I hope it helps.
