Accepted Answer

Fordyce spots: Sometimes called pearly penile papules or Tyson's glands. Can come and go, be more prominent at times than others. They are benign , normal and no need for concern. Most prominent in uncircumcised penises. You can always take and send a picture for our review ; confirmation. It would not be sexting ; would be for medical review and you remain anonymous.

Question 2

painless red rash / small bumps on head / top of shaft of penis after sex. will last for a week and go if i don't have sex again / stay if i do.

Accepted Answer

Lichen planus: You are describing koebner phenomenon where trauma is the inducer in people prone to have the condition. The most likely diagnosis is lichen planus but psoriasis is a possibility.  So rather than becoming celibate , i recommend applying otc Hydrocortisone ointment several hours before and several hours after intercourse and see if that helps.

Question 4

started after using a lubricant durex play massage 2in1. girlfriends vagina had itchy and burning sensation shortly after sex and i started developing the symptoms (itchy, white flaky skin on a small part of the penis head). ?

Accepted Answer

Chemical irritant: The chemicals in the  lubricant you used are irritants and you have to avoid this lubricant and other lubricants with the same list of ingredients.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Wish you good health!

Question 5

i have small cuts under my penis head. im uncircumcised and my skin gets red sore when pulling back foreskin. usually after sex my wife is sore too ?

Accepted Answer

Uncirc Problem: Patients who are not circumcised may develop balanoposthitis, a long word meaning inflammation or infection of the foreskin and/or head of the penis.  When cuts develop, it is usually because the foreskin is too tight or there is chronic inflammation.  Keeping the penis dry is essential to recovery.  If the problem persists, patients need to see a urologist to treat the underlying cause.

Question 6

small bumps around penis head and white spots on tongue: no painy. wht's it? is it dangerous? is it aids symptoms? had protected sex 1year before.

Accepted Answer

Not HIV: If you are worried about HIV infection then please get tested. But, your symptoms are in no way an indication of an HIV infection.

Question 7

i have painless small white bumps on penis head & on penis shaft. i never had sex so it's not stds. how to get rid of these?

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous glands: Most likely these are clogged glands. Scrub them when you are in the shower and keep the area clean and dry.

Question 8

would rubbing alcohol applied to penis glans and foreskin cause irritation, redness, raw painful skin, small bumps, pain in testicles, numbness on penis head and skin peeling?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, it can, as alcohol is irritant and will cause local chemical inflammation, pain and swelling. There must be a reason for why you decided to rub alcohol on your genitals (a potential infection/rash?) and that by itself can cause above symptoms as well. Or in other words a different cause contributing to your symptoms cannot be ruled out, best to have your doc examine and make recommendations.

Question 9

i have been having unprotected sex, after sex i have little red bumps (also looks like spot) on the head  of the penis, only occurs when we have sex.?

Accepted Answer

Balanitis: This is common in uncircumcised men.  It is caused by candida.  The same fungus that causes yeast infections in women.  Sometimes creams are effective at treatment.  Other times circumcision is needed.

Question 10

what could be the cause of red taste bud bumps on the penis head?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: You need to get it checked out.  Could be yeast but it could be another infection including std.  I would see your doctor.
