What Causes Red And White Pimple On Penis?

Hi. Recently I discovered I has some sort of pimple in my penis glans. It started off red and now is white, just like normal breakouts. I m worried it might me an STD. Supossedly all my sexual partners are clean of them although I m a lil bit suspicious of one of them. It s not itchy, just some times it fileels like a little pinch.

Hi,

These pimples appearing on penis can be due to clogged pores or sebum when proper hygiene is not maintained. However, they can also be Fordyce spots, which are harmless. You can use Benzoyl Peroxide for relieve. Wash the affected area daily to stop bacteria & oil from building up. They should go away in a day or two.

If you still have discomfort then you need to visit ER, these can be associated with STI, get all STD Tests done, get treated.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
