Hi,
If you had unprotected sex recently we can think of STI
It can be
1. Herpes - Genital warts (HPV) can be diagnosed by the presence of very painful blisters, sallow ulcers or red base. There are treatment options for genital herpes, but there is no cure. As to the treatment, it is based on relieving basic symptoms, early healing as well as the decrease of symptoms duration.
2. If it’s not painful - Syphilis, diagnosed by blisters appear as the first symptoms of primary syphilis. They usually disappear on their own with time, but remains in the body. First blisters on penis appear, important to seek medical help.
3. Molluscum contagiosum - Small, painless bumps.
4. Yeast infection- It causes blisters, redness, itching and swelling. Blisters are usually white-color and thick.
If it’s non-sexually transmitted diseases then it can be
– Acne, Fordyce spots - which develop when skin's pores are clogged with natural oil, called sebum, sweat, dead skin, it can also cause infection
- Pearly penile papules - small, fleshy bumps that usually develop in gland penis in rows around the head of the penis.
- Skin tag – it's normal, happens in age advances.
- Lichen planus
- Ingrown hair which is painful can leads to infection, needs medical management.
- Rough masturbation/sex
- Bullous Impetigo - bacterial infection due to bad hygiene or use of public pools, towels.
- Pemphigus – it's autoimmune disease can be diagnosed by blood investigation.
If it's a simple allergy, find the cause and treat with local steroids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
