I have small red dots on penis with no itching or swelling for the past three weeks. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have been suffering from small red spots on the tip of the penis for the last three weeks.

Small red spots on the tip of the penis may result from yeast infections, frictions due to clothing, balanitis, contact dermatitis, drug rash, scabies, STD like genital herpes, syphilis, etc.

Treatment depends on the causes. You can undergo some investigations like CBC (complete blood count) with circulating eosinophil count, urine R/M/E, urethral swab for culture, RBS (random blood sugar), etc., to find out the exact cause for your present sufferings and then treat them accordingly. In the meantime, you can use antibacterial cream with antifungal cream and Corticosteroid creams.

I want to add something here. According to the pictures that are provided here (attachment removed to protect patient identity), I think you are probably suffering from balanitis or yeast infections which may cause such type of small red spots on the tip of penis. Strictly maintain personal hygiene. Wear loose clothing for preventing the tip of the penis from any type of frictions or injury. Wash your tip of the penis with its underlying skin with slightly warm water daily and continue to apply the above mentioned topical medications on your affected area until your problems will not be subsided.
