Hello,

Possible causes are
1. Pimple
2. Herpes infection.
3. Warts.
A pimple occurs when a pore gets clogged. The end result depends on the materials that plug up the pore. The best way to treat pimples on your penis is to leave them alone. A hands-off approach will usually keep genital acne from worsening. The pimple is also likely to resolve on its own if the area is kept clean and dry.

You can’t treat a penile pimple with over-the-counter (OTC) medications like you can with pimples on other parts of your body. It is because your skin in this area is thinner and more sensitive. Until examination, it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.


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

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
