well for a while now i have had these small red pimples around the head of my penis well i am 18 yrs old and i have never had sex before but i have been masturbating for a while now...but recently i havent masturbated for a month now but they do not seem to go away... I would really really appreciate it if i could get some advice. Right now i am kind of down because i am really scared. Im scared to see a doctor :-(
You may have cold sore caused by the Herpes Simplex I virus. HPV1 can be spread by sharing towels, or it can be spread from your mouth to your penis when you masturbate. Alternatively, you may have contact dermatitis caused by the rubbing of your penile head against tight underwear. Try hydrocortisone cream to see if it works. Otherwise go see a doctor. There is no need to be scared of doctors. Doctors are there to treat you rather than to judge you. They most likely have seen it all.
could this spread to the girl if i was to have sex ?
also what type of hdrocortisone cream would you perfer because i have been looking and there are different kinds.... thx
Yes, this could spread to a girl if this is indeed cold sore. That is why it is so important for you to see a doctor to confirm. As for the hydrocortisone cream, I always buy the cheapest brand, which is usually a generic or store brand. The ingredients are pretty much the same anyway. This should take care of the dermatitis, but not the cold sore.
will that hydrocortisone cream help reduce the red pimple around the head of my penis. Also this is nowhere near an std right?
