Question 1

redness on penis glans and tiny dots can be seen on glans when erect. currently using clotrimazole and hydrocortisone no improvement. what can this be?

Accepted Answer

Stop Steroid: Please stop using the Hydrocortisone immediately.  This steroid can cause rashes to worsen and infections to spread. This should only be used when recommended by a physician.  Please get to your family doctor today to see about the rash and how to treat it.

Question 2

i have a small circle red dot on the glans of my penis. i was wondering what could it be? and if its removable. ive had it since i was young and been insecure ever since?

Accepted Answer

: Please see your doc to make sure all is well.  After that you can re-frame things by thinking of the dot as a "beauty mark" rather than an imperfection. If someone removes it you might become hyper-focused on any mark that might be left from the surgery.  We all have little dings here and there on the body.  Peace and good health.

Question 3

hi.i am having red inflamed glans penis.1 mm sized 2-3  dots on frenulum.no other problem.when touched it feels discomfortable.

Accepted Answer

Penis is red : Hi

without seeing this directly the most common diagnosis i see with my patients having the same symptoms is that this is either a staph or a strep bacterial infection. It is most likely not an std. But, in most cases it will require antibiotics. So, please go see your trusted medical advisor today or soon.

Question 4

can i get genital herpes from a handjob? i have a rash that looks like tiny red dots on the glans of my penis?

Accepted Answer

: Herpes is rarely if ever transmitted by hand-genital contact. And "tiny red dots" doesn't suggest herpes. If you are uncircumcised, it may be balanitis -- a harmless condition.

Question 5

what are symptoms of a strep and staph infection on the penis? are they similar? tiny red dots on penis glans when erect?

Accepted Answer

Skin infection: Red, pain, small dots, large red swelling. It really doesn't matter. You have something wrong with your penis right now and it is not wise to wait this out or to nit-pick if one does not have all of the possible symptoms.  Your doctor needs to see this and to get you treated.

Question 6

never had sex. my penis glans is red, somedays worse than other days. there are small red blood vessels and small red dots on the glans as well. it worsens as the penis hardends. what is it? should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Sounds normal: This sounds normal. Even if you were sexually active, no STD could cause anything like this. If you remain concerned, see a doctor, but probably nothing is wrong.

Question 7

masturbated and during ejaculation, held the base and head of the penis tight in an attempt to stop the ejaculation. it didn't work and now my clean penis has red/purple dots and rash-alike spots on the glans and penis. help?

Accepted Answer

: Pinching the penis does not stop the ejaculation but just prevents it from coming out and can cause symptoms like yours. Keep area clean aplly otc cortisone cream and you will be OK in a few days

Question 8

is it possible to have genital herpes as a virgin? i have what i think is a cold sore on my lip and recently used my own spit during masturbation. just a few minutes ago i noticed a non-itchy, dry, small, red dot near my glans and now im scared?

Accepted Answer

: From what you describe it does not sound like a herpes sore. PL get vaccinated

Question 9

i've never had sex. i have bumps on penis, testicles, under foreskin(looks like fordyce spots); bumps on penis corona(looks like penile papules); red glans with small red dots; growths under tongue(looks like plica fimbriata). what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Normal: What you described is normal morphology.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex when you do, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
