Why is my penis tip red and inflamed?

Patient's Query

Small mark on tip of penis. Almost like a pimple, becomes inflamed sometimes and turns red.

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

It seems you might have an issue such as balanitis, a common and naturally occurring thing among men. It can be seen in a small mole-like structure on the tip of the penis that is occasionally pus-filled, and it could get inflamed and red. It could also be connected with the frequency of penis washing, or it could even be traced back to some personal hygiene habits or yet another significant thing like any irritability that might be caused by soap or disinfectant. Frequent washing and drying of the area are key to a better outcome. The application of mild soaps and the avoidance of harsh chemicals are also helpful strategies. Wearing comfortable, breathable clothes and underwear made of cotton is also good. Wear only loose-fitting clothing and wear underwear made of soft, comfy cotton. When all else fails after a week or two and the results don't get better, it is a good time to see a dermatologist, possibly for further evaluation or to control the underlying issue.

I am a 18 year old male and im concuabout having hsv 1 and hsv 2, i was a little worried about what they look like because i saw something that looked unusual in both places.

Male | 18

It's important to get examined by a healthcare professional, like a dermatologist or a urologist, to diagnose any concerns regarding HSV-1 or HSV-2 accurately. Avoid self-diagnosis based on appearance, as it can be misleading. Early detection and proper medical guidance are crucial for managing any potential infections.

My lip is itchy from past 3to 4 days. Why is it so

Female | 25

An itchy lip can be due to poor hydration, an allergic reaction or even a cold sore. It is recommended to see a dermatologist for a correct diagnosis and treatment choice. In due course, refrain from licking your lips and use petroleum jelly to moisturize your lips.

Hello, I am 24 years old, I actually wanted to know if dermaplaning is good for my face and is their any side effects after doing that. Also I wanted to know the cost of dermaplane for my face. Thankyou!

Female | 24

Dermaplaning is helpful in decreasing wrinkles, acne and fine lines. But to know whether you are eligible or not for it, you need to visit a dermatologist. Based on your skin type and condition, the doctor will tell whether dermaplaning is suitable for you or not. And talking about the cost, it depends on the area that needs treatment and it also depends on the doctor and the clinic.

Which treatment is best for vitiligo in children below 5 years, homeopathy, ayurveda, or allopathy? What treatment is given to kids for focal vitiligo above lips?

Male | 3

The best treatment for vitiligo in children below 5 years old would depend on the severity of the condition. Generally, topical corticosteroids are the most commonly used treatment for vitiligo in children, and they are used in combination with other treatments like phototherapy, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and systemic immunomodulators. For focal vitiligo above the lips, the treatment of choice is usually topical corticosteroids. Additionally, topical immunomodulators and phototherapy can be used in combination with topical corticosteroids to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. Homeopathy, ayurveda, and other alternative treatments can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments, but should be discussed with a doctor before starting.

I have dark tan black on my neck

Male | 30

When your crook finger is deep, we call that acanthosis nigricans. It only appears in thick, dark aluminum and is always misdiagnosed as skin abnormalities. Weight and diabetes are the main accused ones. Sometimes, it can also relate to hormonal problems. The proper approach is to eat healthy and manage your weight.

I am a 21 year old female. I have a painless neck cyst of in the left size below ear of about pea size for 4-5 years. What should I do?

Female | 21

Such cysts can grow on your neck due to the blockage in the glands. It has been there for an elapsed time and no significant pain has occurred. That is probably nothing to worry about given the duration of its time there and the fact it is asymptomatic. Still, I strongly believe that expert attention from a doctor is needed.

Female | 25

Hives, a fever and stomach aches suck. Plus your tests showing low albumin and high ESR and CRP are like major red flags. It could be that there is inflammation somewhere in your body. You need to see your doctor again so they can try and work out what’s causing it and how best to treat you.
