I have tiny hard lumps on my penis. Are the lumps due to hair follicles or STD?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The lumps are looking like infected hair follicles or inflamed sebaceous cysts. But physical examination is important to know the nature of bumps. If they are infected one, antibiotics are required both oral antibiotics and topical antibiotic cream application. Hence, I advise you to consult the dermatologist for examination and further management.

Herpes will present with blister lesions, and they are filled with water-like fluid inside the lesions. Whereas the warts are small growths and their surface loos like the surface of a cauliflower. Fungus infection will present like a widespread rash in the genital area, there are satellite bumps in surrounding the rash. What I advise you is not to hesitate to consult the dermatologist for a physical examination to start appropriate medication depending on the clinical examination, so that the problem can be treated at this stage and can stop its progression.

I went through the picture you sent(attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is looking like a fungal skin infection. Because of excessive sweating and moisture in areas like the scrotum and groin, fungal infection growth can occur, leading to rashes with itching. Keep the site dry and well aerated. Wear loose undergarments to allow some air inside. After taking a bath, wipe the area with a dry clean towel to get that area dried. You can apply an anti-fungal cream thrice daily after consultation with a skin specialist. This application has to be continued until the rash subsides and may require two to three weeks. This is not looking like a genital wart. It is looking like a fungal skin infection only.
