A member asked:

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.?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
