What Causes Small Red Spots On Penis After Having Unsafe Sex?

hi there doctor. last week i had unprotected sex and a few days after i noticed about 4 or 5 small red spots on the tip of my penis which have been there for about 4 days now. during that 4 days on the shaft a blister type lump has appeared. it is quite irritating and has enlarged up until now. early on i tried to pop it as i thought it was a spot but that didnt work. today it has formed a small shiny clear centre and i would really like to know what this is just to be sure its nothing serious ?!

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
There are a number of conditions that could cause small red spots over penis, here are some common causes
1.Genital herpes, a common sexually transmitted infection , can appear as sores or lesions on the genitals. Classic genital herpes lesions resemble small pimples or blisters that eventually crust over and finally scab like a small cut. These lesions often appear within the first two weeks the virus is transmitted and can take between two to four weeks to heal.
2.Your symptoms could indicate a ringworm infection, which is a fungal infection. Ringworm causes either a red, circular skin rash inflamed around the edges
3.Genital warts, caused by the human papiloma virus, could also be the cause of the bumps.
4.syphilis can also cause lesions on the genitals
All the conditions above can be transmitted through sexual contact, so until you figure out what you have, you may want to be extra careful about protecting your partner from direct contact with the lesions or from genital to genital contact.

The best thing to do would be to visit a physician, and he would provide you with a specific diagnosis.

Hope your query is solved
