What Causes Small Red Bumps On Penile Shaft?

Need some more information sir, and pls attach the second image
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. From the uploaded images it looks like a fungal/yeast infection to me, and not really like HPV symptoms but I need some more information ; also I do not see a second picture and so I do not know which image I am seeing (the current presentation or how it was 3 weeks ago, so please explain).
I also have a few questions for you sir, please do take some time out to answer them:
1. Did you have sexual contact in close proximity (a day or two) prior to the appearance of the symptoms?
2. Did you masturbate in close proximity to the appearance of the symptoms (a day or two)?
3. If your answer to 1 or 2 is a yes, then do let me know how well you washed up after either of these acts? Whether you slept with the ejaculate, or did not clean or dry up after?
4. Is it hot where you live? If so, does your groin region sweat often?
5. You are circumsized from the picture which is a good thing, but how often do you take a shower?
6. How often do you change your inner wear?
7. Do you leave your genitals wet after cleaning up?
I look forward to hearing from you in order to better help you.
Best wishes.


Suggestions, pls write to me in 10 days time again for further instructions
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.
Thank you so much for your co-operation.
As suspected, from the images and from the details provided by you it does seem like this could be a case of male candidiasis. The treatment of which along with my recommendations are the following:
+One tablet of fluconazole 150 mg (e.g. diflucan), only one tablet to be taken once
+Keep the region dry at al times, if you sweat then please carry an extra change of inner wear
+Avoid sexual contact and masturbation until I say so (write to me once the course of treatment I advise is over)
+Topical application of nystatin cream over the region (to be cleaned and dried prior to the application) and to be applied twice a day for 10 days; or topical cream imidazole (also the same dosa and instructions of application)
I hope this helps. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
