What Causes Itchy Bumps At The Tip Of The Penis?
Hi I have multiple itchy pimple like bumps on my penis head for last 4 - 5 days, and they are sort of increasing in number. Today one of these bumps sort of shed skin. Around few bumps skin feels like cracking. I have washed penile head with detol / safeguard (antibacterial) soap, but no use. What is this? and what should be used to treat it.

Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
The symptoms you have mentioned suggestive of genital warts. these are nothing but small warty growth caused by pappilloma virus. You don't need to worry as it can be well cured by timely treatment. Consult a dermatologist and he will direct you accordingly. You can go for cauterization or cryotherapy.
Keep in mind that it is contagious, so always practice safe sex.
Thanks
