Having Reddish Bumps With Discoloration On The Glans. Is It A Fungal Infection?
For the past several months now I have had some red discoloration on my glans , accompanied by some tiny red bumps. The bumps are very small and painless. There is no real discomfort to speak of but it is quite unsightly and a little unsettling as I expected it to have gone away by now. Of course it is quite more prominent when aroused and the skin appears to be rather dry. Is this a fungal issue perhaps? I was not sexually active for several months prior to it s development.

Welcome on health magic.com,
It is most likely to be an infection. The top two possibilities are:
Thrush – a fungal infection (very common).
Herpes – which is similar to cold sores.
The two conditions require quite different treatments so you will have to get a proper diagnosis from your GP in order to get the right treatment.
Yours sincerely
