Do Red Spots On Glans Penis Indicate Infection?

I have very tiny red spots on my glans penis since last 4 days and it is been itching very badly. I have applied neosporin once daily for last 2 days but not sure if it is working. There is no white discharge. Is it a fungal/bacterial infection? please advice.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Tiny red spots with itching is most likely a yeast infection. But if you have burning sensation or rashes with fluid then genital herpes should be ruled out. It is better to show your GP or dermatologist to rule out that.

For yeast infection I treat my patients with creams or ointments with combination of miconazole and flucinolone. You should also avoids irritants like soaps to wash penis and instead you can use saline or warm water for washing. Hypoallergic soaps like cetaphil also can be used.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.

Regards,
Dr. Nishad BN
