A member asked:

Penis head skin is bumpy, have small skin coloured pimples, small dark spots, doc gave bepanthen to apply. is it safe to use, will it heal? help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safe: Also useless, a waste of money. You are not describing a infection and this cream will not benefit anything. You had best see a dermatologist and begin by defining these lesions. Any treatment must flow from the diagnosis.
