What Causes Tiny Bumps Scattered Across Glans Penis?
Hello, I have recently discovered tiny bumps scattered across most of my glans penis. I have not had sexual intercourse for 5-6 months, not have I had sexual contact for that amount of time. It almost looks like it could possibly be eczema but I m not sure. Any help is appreciated
You seem to be having Candidiasis of the groin region.
First some general precautions: Wear cotton clothes and undergarments in order to reduce the sweating. Do not apply any kind of oils / moisturizing lotion over the affected area . Just give warm saline compresses over the affected area twice a day and then apply an antifungal cream. Something like clotrimazole cream helps in most cases. Also , you will need to take oral antifungals 2 weeks.
In case of severe itching, take some antihistamine once a day . If inspite of the above measures, the lesions continue to persist or increase , then you might have to see a dermatologist for proper assessment and management .
Hope it helps Dr Geetika Paul
