I have a few medium sized pimples on my penis for about a few days. What could it be?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

According to your description, there are multiple things that could present as such. It could be molluscum contagiosum, genital warts, or herpes. Sometimes even physiologic changes such as pearly penile papules can also present like this. If you are sexually active it could be an STD (sexually transmitted disease) as well. Kindly revert to me with photos and sexual history so as to aid in diagnosis and treatment.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the details and photos. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). This is looking like genital scabies. This usually happens if you have used public transport recently like overnight bus or trains or even if you have stayed overnight at a hotel where sheets have not been cleaned. Usually, in this case the itching will be more at night. You need to take tablet Ivermectol (Ivermectin) 12 mg tomorrow morning on empty stomach and repeat the dose after one week. Apply Permite 5% (Permethrin) cream to the whole body from neck to toes including private parts tonight, one tube to be emptied for one application. tomorrow morning have a bath. After bath, all your clothes, bedsheets, towels, blankets have to be washed in hot water and kept in the sun for drying. Only freshly washed clothes to be worn. The cream application has to be repeated after one week. You can also take tablet HHlevo 5 mg (Levocetirizine) daily night after food for one week.
