Question 1

what could cause little red spots on penis head?

Accepted Answer

Have seen if lasting: These may be nothing more complicated than burst capillaries if you've used a hard grip, but if they last, the entity to rule out is a premalignancy usually related to hpv ("erythroplasia" and its family.) have your physician look if and only if they are stable for more than two weeks and are clearly not just blood vessels.

Question 2

what causes red spots on penis head ..what are the reasons red spots on penis . does hiv causes red spots on penis glans?

Accepted Answer

: HIV doesn't do this. Usually it means balanitis, especially in uncircumcised men. Most balanitis is "nonspecific" and clears up with penile hygiene -- retract foreskin and wash with soap and water a couple times a day. A mild steroid or anti-yeast cream often helps. If it persists despite these tries, see a doctor, ideally a urologist. Good luck.

Question 3

used retin a (tretinoin) on penis head, skin got burned but now healed. noticing small dark spots on penis head. how to cure this please help!!

Accepted Answer

See below: Not unusual to have either residual hypo- or hyperpigmenation of the penis (shaft or glans) after treatment or resolution of any type of infection, inflammation, or irritation. Such pigmentation tends to return toward normal with time (months to years). Trying to normalize these areas with various topicals sometimes delay rather than enhances the process. Recommend see a dermatologist if concerned

Question 4

had oral 3 months ago from girl at a party since have been feeling like i leak. burning when i squeeze penis feels like vein pain also have like random penis pain and then been having these like bleach spots on penis head. the burn comes and goes feels li

Accepted Answer

Cannot say: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, burning can mean a significant sexually transmitted disease such as chlamydia.

Question 5

i've fordyce spots on penis shaft. they are rapidly spreading all over the shaft even on penis head (gland). what could i do to get rid from them?

Accepted Answer

Angiokeratomas: Angiokeratomas of Fordyce appear as deep blue small bumps on the genital skin.  They bleed easily as they are dilated blood vessels.  They are harmless and usually do not require treatment.  They can be frozen, burned or lasered off if need be.  Before that occurs, make sure the diagnosis is confirmed by a urologist.

Question 6

noticed brown shiny spot on penis head. 2 drs say irritation frm wiping frm mastrbating.  1 sex partner. no pain/puss.  hpv or herpes? how to cure it?

Accepted Answer

Probably not serious: For sure this isn't herpes. I suppose it could be HPV, but a new HPV lesion would be rare at your age of 39. There are many possibilities, and the large majority of skin problems of teh penis are not STDs and aren't serious. Since two doctors apparently aren't certain, consider seeing a dermatologist.

Question 7

i am 49 male. have lentigo (brown/tan spots) on penis glans/head. no pain, itch, discharge. only when flaccid. normal aging?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: Lentigo Simplex and Penile Lentiginosis present as flat brown to black spots on the penis with irregular borders. They are not malignant BUT Lentigo Maligna(Hutchinson melanotic freckle) and melanoma may look similar to Lentigo Simplex. The presence of several spots makes melanoma less likely, but to be on the safe side have a dermatologist examen them to be certain.

Question 8

only sex w wife. i hv dark spots on head of penis aftr mastrbating/wiping w rough paper towel. dr thought it was glands. hpv or herpes? no puss/pain

Accepted Answer

Not enough info...: Without a direct look these spots, it is surely hard to give right diagnosis although sebaceous glands or pearly penile papules or foreskin-related rash, etc. may be. Clinically, if not increasing in size &amp; number,  not changing in their look, and not hurting, they are probably nothing serious; if so, leave them alone and see. If not, to to be re-evaluated in 6-12 months is reasonable.

Question 9

cracked foreskin skin red spots on penis. whats the best and worst possibilites and solutions?

Accepted Answer

Penile eruption: The best possibility is that this is an allergic reaction to clothing or a condom or some vaginal cream contacted during intercourse.  The worst is that this is malignant and needs amputation.  Neither is reasonable and as recommended earlier needs to be seen to be diagnosed and recommended for treatment.

Question 10

white spots on penis tip, only visable if skin is stretched, std or fordyce spots?

Accepted Answer

Fordyce spots: As above. STD's don't have that appearance.
