What is the reason for a red pimple on the penis

In today's society, women who do not pay attention to their physical health are prone to gynecological inflammation, and men who do not pay attention to their physical health will also suffer from a series of inflammations of one kind or another. In life, it is particularly important to keep the sexual organs of men and women clean. Only in this way can we prevent the invasion of various bacteria and viruses and avoid being troubled by diseases or inflammation. So what is the reason for a red bump on the penis?

Your condition is considered to be balanitis. Don't worry. It is easy to cure with active symptomatic treatment. Balanitis is the inflammation of the glans mucosa. Causes:

(1) Non-infectious factors: including local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soap and detergents, etc., which may manifest as edema, erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may suppurate and form an ulcer. The patient will have obvious pain and difficulty in movement. Clinically, it is called acute superficial balanitis.

(2) Candida infection: Candida is a conditionally pathogenic fungus, so candidal balanitis is often secondary to diabetes, senile wasting diseases, and large amounts of antibiotics or hormone treatment. It can also be primary, often transmitted from a spouse's candidal vaginitis. There may be light red erosions and thin-walled pustules on the glans and coronal sulcus, but Candida is often not found locally, which may be caused by a local allergic reaction caused by Candida.

(3) Amebic infection: Most patients first have balanitis, which causes the local loss of normal barrier function, and then is caused by intestinal amebiasis. Local erosion, ulceration, and tissue necrosis are obvious, and amebic protozoa can be found in direct smears of secretions.

(4) Trichomonas infection: Most cases are caused by a spouse suffering from vaginal trichomoniasis. The symptoms are mild, mainly manifested as erythematous papules and small blisters on the glans penis. The borders are clear and the range gradually expands. Patients often feel itchy. Trichomonas can be found in the secretions. In addition, there are some cases where the cause of balanitis is unclear, but excessive foreskin and smegma irritation are often related to the occurrence of balanitis. Therefore, men should also wash their lower body frequently, keep the local area clean, and avoid irritation.

The "three major reasons" for the appearance of small red spots on the glans are:

1. Balanitis causes small red spots on the glans

Red spots on the glans may be caused by balanitis. It can be caused by infection with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Gonorrhea or other bacteria; or because the foreskin is too long and not cleaned well, the unclean matter between the foreskin and the glans, namely smegma, will accumulate and irritate the local foreskin and mucosa to cause inflammation.

2. Red spots on the glans caused by excessive foreskin or phimosis

Red spots on the glans may also be caused by foreskin that is too long or phimosis. The foreskin that is too long is not easy to clean, so smegma accumulates, stimulating the local foreskin mucosa to cause inflammation. It is recommended that patients undergo circumcision. "Jet-type needle-free anesthesia circumcision" solves the problem of anesthesia and pain before circumcision surgery and is very popular among patients.

3. Small red spots caused by gynecological inflammation

If a female patient has some gynecological inflammation, long-term sexual life may also irritate the male glans, causing inflammation and the appearance of red spots on the glans.

Once red spots appear on the glans, you should consider whether the foreskin is too long, whether there is inflammation, whether there has been any unclean sexual experience in recent times, etc. Of course, no matter what the reason is, you should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.

[Sexually transmitted diseases] In addition, if men are infected with sexually transmitted diseases, small red spots will appear on the foreskin and glans. The early symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases are very similar to inflammation of the foreskin and glans. It is recommended that you seek medical advice from an expert to determine whether you have contracted a sexually transmitted disease to avoid unnecessary worry.

After reading the above introduction about the reasons why red bumps grow on the penis, I think everyone should have some understanding. There are many reasons why red bumps grow on the penis, but the most important one is that sexual life is not clean, which allows certain bacteria and viruses to take advantage of the opportunity to enter. Therefore, patients must pay attention to their own physical health and not give diseases a chance to take advantage.
