Hello Doctor,
I have a pimple on my penis that hurts a lot. What is it?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
If you have a painful pimple on your penis, there are several possible causes, including:
Pimples: Often caused by clogged pores. Keep the area clean and avoid popping it.
Fordyce Spots: Non-painful, benign bumps that don't need treatment unless cosmetic concerns arise.
Razor Burn: Irritation from shaving. Aloe vera and antibiotic cream may help.
Tyson Glands: Small, harmless bumps beneath the penis head.
Molluscum Contagiosum: A viral infection that may require surgery or laser treatment.
Ingrown Hairs: Red bumps from hairs growing back into the skin. Typically improve on their own.
Genital Warts: Caused by HPV. Treated with medications or laser therapy.
Lymphoceles: Fluid-filled bumps that may require surgery to remove.
Cysts: Fluid-filled bumps that should not be squeezed and might need medical attention if infected.
STDs: Sexually transmitted diseases can cause similar bumps. Testing is essential.
If the pimple is persistent or worsening, consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Thanks
