Brief Answer:
allergic to condom or the vaginal secretions.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the quick response.
In that case,this red dots are likely to be due to allergic to condom or the vaginal secretions but no need to be worried as it can be managed.
Gently retract the foreskin and soak in warm plain water to clean glans penis and foreskin.
Avoid using soaps as they may further irritate the skin of glans.
Use antihistamine tablet like cetrizine 10 mg twice daily for a week will solve your problem than with topical application.
If possible, then change your condom or use from some different manufacturer company.
You will start improving within 5 to 7 days with all this precautions and OTC medications.
Topical steroid ointment (like betamethasone) application will also be helpful but at present there is no need of it as you do not have any sign of infection of glans penis (no pain and no burning).
Hope this will help you.
