Do the pimples on the penis occur due to having spices?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My husband is getting pimples on his genital (penis head) whenever he consumes red chilies or spicy food, and it is taking a long time to cure. A similar incident occurred six months back, and he applied Candid lotion. All the blood tests came negative. Can I know the reason for the pimples?

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It is balanitis (attachment removed to protect patient identity), and the cause can be a fungal or bacterial infection. Is he diabetic? Consider the application of Fucidin cream (Fusidic acid 2 %) twice daily, Clotrimazole 1 % cream twice daily or Miconazole 2 % cream twice daily. For oral medications take tablet Fluconazole 150 mg one tablet after the meal on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for two weeks. If you have a similar complaint of itching, then even you should consider treatment.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

No, it is not. It can be cured. But, follow up again if he suffers from any erosions or small ulcers over glans. At present, just continue with the medications. Topical medications need to be continued for one month.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Does the blood also get infected? I went and checked with a gynecologist. She said that my vagina is normal and I do not have any problem. How would he have got this balanitis?

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

No, it is not related to blood. It is a fungal infection. The reoccurrence is mainly due to poor personal hygiene. One should clean the area with lukewarm water, and use washed clothes daily. The undergarments should be washed and changed regularly. There should not be any collection of fluid or secretions over the preputial skin. Revert if he observes erosions or ulcers. Otherwise, there is nothing to worry about majorly.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
