Patient's question:
Doctor, I noticed yesterday while taking a shower that the skin under my foreskin is very itchy. I often unconsciously scratch it, and when I touch the skin under the foreskin, I feel small bumps. What could be the reason for the small bumps on my penis? Am I possibly getting a sexually transmitted disease? Hello, what causes the itching and small bumps under the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if there are small bumps on the penis accompanied by itching, it is primarily considered to be based on some local balanitis. This may be due to insufficient cleanliness after sexual intercourse, leading to bacterial growth. It is also possible that the condition is caused by a viral infection resulting from unsafe sexual practices. It is necessary to visit a hospital for examination. In terms of treatment, topical anti-inflammatory ointments can be used. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding specific medication. Additionally, it is important to avoid sexual intercourse.
