There are small red and white painless dots on my foreskin. What to do?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please send clear photos of lesions and details for clarification. Please send the following details.

1. How long are you having these spots?
2. Is there any intercourse history? If yes, then please give your partner's history.
3. Do you have symptoms like pain, itching, etc.?
4. Do you have any other lesion? Or any other disease?
5. Have you done any tests? Did you take any treatment?
6. Is it recurrent?
7. Do you have any inguinal region swelling?

It may be due to an infection or simple changes or STDs (sexually transmitted diseases).

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Thank you for the follow-up query.

Are you able to retract the foreskin? If yes, then it is a good sign. Otherwise, if it is difficult or not retractable, then consult your doctor for examination and management. It may be phimosis, for which a simple procedure like slittingor circumcision may be needed.

In either of the situation, I suggest you try doing the following.

1. Clean the area with warm water twice daily.
2. I suggest applying a topical antifungal cream like Clotrimazole(Candid).
3. Wear loose cotton inner wears.

Thank you for the follow-up query. I have seen the attached picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

It is not a serious issue. If you never had intercourse, then there isno chance of STDs. Masturbation does not cause STDs. It may be due to irritation or friction or fungal infection. So, maintain hygiene, clean the area with warm water twice daily. Apply topical antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Candid) cream. Consult your doctor for examination if it does not subside.

Thank you for the follow-up query. Reduce the frequency of masturbation. Avoid too much force or friction. Yes, you can apply directly in the area such that it forms a thin water like film, twice daily. For now, no tablet is required.
