What should I do if there are small red bumps on the foreskin?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to consult about small red bumps on my penis. I have been using erythromycin ointment, but it's not very effective. I had an unprotected sexual encounter a few days ago, and I'm worried I might have contracted a sexually transmitted disease. I am very anxious. Could you please help me understand what treatment method I should use?

Doctor's answer:

Theoretically, if there are changes in the functions of the foreskin as mentioned above, it can be treated. If there are small red bumps, it is basically a bacterial infection that can be treated. The methods used are basically antimicrobial drugs. You can take erythromycin, mupirocin ointment, or other topical medications. Additionally, oral cephalosporin or quinolone drugs can also be used. At the beginning, potassium permanganate can also be used for cleaning.
