Pimples on the genitals: why they appear and how to get rid of them

Urological problems are not uncommon in the modern world and can affect any person, regardless of age, status, position in society and sexual activity. One of the signs of pathology may be acne on the penis, scrotum, and surrounding tissue. Quite often they occur against a background of complete health and require minimal treatment if you consult a doctor in a timely manner. It is wrong to assume that pimples on a man’s trunk are always a consequence of poor hygiene standards, promiscuous sex life, and to look for the cause in the partner.

Let's try to understand the etiology of white pimples on the penis, especially since there are quite a few reasons for their occurrence. The main ones include inflammation of the hair follicles, allergic manifestations, the introduction of infectious agents, poor hygiene, malfunction of the sebaceous glands, as well as hormonal disorders in the body.

So, when you detect a pimple, you need to pay attention to the color, size, contours, quantity, location, location, relationship to the hair follicles, and you also need to listen to your body - are there any general signals in the form of poor health, malaise, increased temperature. Pimples on the penis are most often red or white, or a combination of both. A rich white color with swelling and redness at the edges of the pimple indicates the addition of an infectious agent and an inflammatory reaction around the lesion. Once we have assessed the appearance of the pimple, we can begin to take certain measures to treat it.

Causes of acne not related to illness

Why do pustules and pimples appear on the genitals if a person is completely healthy?

Such formations can occur due to the following disorders :

Failure to comply with personal hygiene rules.
Wearing synthetic, tight underwear.
Hypothermia or overheating of the body.
Consequences of mechanical injuries after removing pubic hair with a razor, wax, cream, sugar paste.
Poor nutrition (abuse of fatty, sweet, spicy foods).
Stress.
Hormonal changes in the body (puberty, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause).
Consequences of an allergic reaction of the body to soap, powder, etc.

External reasons

The appearance of acne on the penis is caused by:

Allergic reactions to the materials from which towels and underwear are sewn, as well as various intimate hygiene products.
Microcracks resulting from irritation or rubbing of the skin.
Poor genital care. Washing should be regular. Equal importance should be given to the quality and composition of care products.
Poor nutrition. Excess smoked, fatty, fried foods reduce the natural protective functions of the body and provoke the formation of dermatitis.

Given the wide range of possible causes, you should consult a doctor immediately. If you start treatment in a timely manner, you will be able to avoid serious problems in the intimate area.

Pimples as a sign of disease

Painful pimples, red, purulent, often appear as a consequence of some disease.

The following diseases lead to the occurrence of such formations :

genital herpes,
syphilis,
papilloma virus,
lice pubis,
inguinal dermatomycosis,
thrush (candidiasis),
vaginal cyst,
infectious process in the vagina, head of the penis (staphylococcal infection),
molluscum contagiosum.

What to do with subcutaneous pimples: remove or not?

Subcutaneous pimples on the genitals are red, painful bumps.

They arise due to blockage of pores and infection .

Such formations should absolutely not be squeezed out, otherwise the infection will go further and a boil will appear in place of the subcutaneous pimple.

The right decision in the case of subcutaneous pimples is not to touch them, they should go away on their own.

But if a person catches a pimple and injures it, then he will need to go to the hospital without fail so that a specialist can remove it surgically.

Red pimples on the genitals: what are they talking about?

Rashes of this kind most often indicate sexually transmitted diseases. Depending on the type of red pimples on the genitals, we may be talking about the following problems:

Candidiasis of the vagina or penis. Red spots in women can be located on the labia; in men, a pimple on the genital organ appears on the shaft, as well as on the head of the phallus. In addition to red pimples, signs of thrush include cheesy discharge and an unpleasant odor. Acne of this kind should be treated with special external ointments, prescribed only by a doctor.
Genital herpes . Red pimples in this case are filled with a clear or yellowish liquid in the middle. They can appear on the pubis, labia, and head of the penis. These watery, red lesions may burst and become sores. The disease is treated under the supervision of a doctor.
Syphilis . The sores are bright red in color with a smooth surface.

The appearance of white pimples on the genitals

Rashes of this kind most often appear due to basic non-compliance with personal hygiene rules .

Often, white pimples appear in men and are located on the head, scrotum or along the entire length of the reproductive organ.

They can also occur in adolescents during puberty. Such pimples on the penis do not pose a threat to health ; they pop up due to the active work of the sebaceous glands. In this situation, they pass on their own.

But there are situations when white pimples occur due to certain diseases and then you need to get rid of them as soon as possible:

gonorrhea,
candidiasis,
herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases.

If you suspect some serious disease other than white pimples, a man or woman experiences the following unpleasant sensations :

Burning in the genital area.
Painful sensations.
Itching in the perineum, groin area.
Discharge from the urethra (vagina).
Discomfort during and after sex
Unpleasant odor from the vagina, head of the penis.

There are cases when a white pimple is a symptom of cancer.

And if the doctor sends you for a histological examination, you must undergo it in order to remove suspicions about the malignant nature of the neoplasm .

Causes of purulent acne

Such formations most often occur in women due to the following problems:

After unsuccessful hair removal or depilation . If the procedure for removing hair on the pubis and labia is incorrect, some women may develop a purulent pimple. If you do not further injure the skin, it will disappear on its own after a while.
Purulent pimples on the labia may appear due to wearing synthetic underwear . Panties made from non-natural fabrics do not allow air and moisture to pass through easily, which leads to the growth of bacteria. Those subsequently penetrate through the protective layers of the skin, resulting in acne.
Hypothermia . Many women do not part with their skirts even in severe frost. As a result, their body becomes hypothermic, immunity decreases, and blood circulation is disrupted. As a result, bacteria begin to attack the genitals, and purulent pimples appear.
Venereal diseases . In this case, purulent rashes must be dealt with comprehensively.

If rashes appear in the intimate area, do not scratch the skin, and also do not shave or epilate.

How to treat?

You cannot take this delicate issue lightly. The cause of rashes on the skin of the phallus is either a common cold, allergies or poor hygiene, or a serious fungal or viral disease.

Is it possible to squeeze pimples on the penis?

Blisters, pustules and other rashes should never be subjected to mechanical stress. This will lead to the formation of a wound through which infection can enter even when the root cause of the problem is a banal allergic reaction.

What does self-medication lead to?

Ignoring inflammation can lead to serious problems in your intimate life. If the disease is in an advanced stage, this is fraught with infertility and erectile dysfunction (impotence). Some pathologies negatively affect other organs and suppress the immune system.

Rashes during pregnancy: normal or abnormal?

There may be several reasons for the appearance of acne in the intimate area during pregnancy.

Here are the most common ones:

changes in hormonal levels . During pregnancy, the female body undergoes major changes. Women often develop rashes not only on the face, back, décolleté, but also on the genitals. This type of rash does not require treatment; if you follow the rules of hygiene, they go away on their own.
taking medications . For women who are at real risk of miscarriage, doctors prescribe potent medications to maintain pregnancy. Side effects of these medications very often include rashes in the genital area,
long-term use of multivitamins . All pregnant women are prescribed vitamins in the first months of pregnancy. If a girl takes them for longer than the prescribed time, this can negatively affect her health,
blocking air access to the skin . Often, acne on the genitals of pregnant women appears in the 2nd and 3rd trimester. A large belly simply blocks the access of air to the genitals, as a result of which the skin begins to sweat, the infection easily penetrates under the skin, and an inflammatory process appears. Therefore, it is very important that pregnant women wear loose clothing, underwear made from natural fabrics,
poor genital hygiene. Due to the fact that the sweat and sebaceous glands work 2 times more intensely during pregnancy, pregnant women should shower regularly, 2 times a day. Otherwise, the pores become clogged with dirt, dust, and subcutaneous sebum.

Surgery

If a large, painful pimple appears on your penis, it may be a boil. Such rashes are treated promptly. The doctor uses a scalpel to open the cavity and clear it of pus. Then apply antibacterial ointment directly to the wound and bandage it. The procedure itself takes no more than 10 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.

You can also get rid of acne caused by the accumulation of fat (nodular pimples on the penis) through surgery. Typically, this treatment is prescribed for large lipomas that continue to grow.

When can you not do without medical help?

Acne on the glans penis, pubis, labia minora and majora should not be ignored if:

The rash causes severe itching, burning, and pain when touched.
The rash does not cause any discomfort, but pimples and blackheads do not go away for more than 2 weeks.
The pimple increased in size, darkened, and pus appeared in it.
Pimples on intimate places cause an increase in body temperature.
The rash appeared immediately after casual sex.
Pimples are filled with clear or yellowish fluid (pus).
Weakness, dizziness, and high fatigue appeared soon after the appearance of acne.

Diagnostics

As already mentioned, you cannot self-medicate. To receive qualified help, you need to know which doctor to contact. If red pimples on the penis spread to the pubis, groin and buttocks, then you should visit a dermatologist. For acne on the head of the penis, it is better to choose a venereologist. In some cases, when the disease is caused by disturbances in the functioning of internal organs, consultation with an endocrinologist, urologist or infectious disease specialist is required.

For diagnosis, patients are required to undergo a general blood test (as well as tests for HIV, hepatitis and syphilis), urine and a urethral smear. When contacting a dermatologist, the doctor writes out a referral for scraping from the affected dermis in order to identify skin pathologies. After receiving the examination results, the doctor prescribes treatment appropriate to the diagnosis.

Treatment of acne in the groin in men and women

To get rid of rashes, you must first undergo an examination, determine the cause of the rashes and begin to eliminate it.

if the results of the tests do not reveal any diseases , then the doctor can prescribe a simple treatment, which will be based on compliance with the rules of personal hygiene, the use of special antiseptic drugs for treating acne (hydrogen peroxide, zinc ointment, Levomekol, Vishnevsky ointment) ,
if the cause of the rash is sexually transmitted sexually transmitted diseases , then individual complex treatment is prescribed depending on the diagnosis and its severity. Standard medications in this case are antibiotics, immunostimulants, and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Watery pimples and blisters on the penis and glans

The appearance of transparent blisters on the skin of the penis has increasingly become a concern for the male population, especially causing burning and itching.

It will not be possible to solve such a problem on your own, since all the reasons for the manifestation will depend on the test results, which means you will need to go to the doctor, despite your shyness.

By the way, this is one of the main problems in diagnosing many skin or sexually transmitted diseases in men at an early stage; due to shyness, the patient consults a doctor when the disease has already passed the first, mild stage.

According to statistics, a urologist-andrologist is treated with a similar problem quite often, and the reasons for the appearance of pimples can be completely different. The most common ones are:

Venereal diseases.
Allergic reaction.
Common acne.

As a rule, the appearance of acne is always preceded by increased oiliness of the skin, as well as an insufficient level of personal hygiene.

It is also not recommended to immediately exclude the possibility of an allergic reaction, because no one is immune from contact or ingestion of a previously unseen component, to which the body can react in completely different ways.

If rash symptoms occur, the first thing to do is remember what personal hygiene products were used the day before or what unusual products were used the day before.

Reasons for appearance

Often, blisters on the penis also appear in the case of a disease such as herpes. It is worth noting that the incubation period can last up to one week, during which infected patients usually experience the manifestation of primary symptoms, expressed as vesicular pimples on the skin of the penis.

There are often cases when the course of the disease passes without any additional symptoms, while before the rash appears on the skin there is severe itching. Under the influence of the virus, the mucous membrane is affected, as well as other organs of the reproductive system.

Why do acne appear?

In addition to ordinary pain, all kinds of discharge, and in some cases, stagnation of urine, can also be observed. In practice, the patient always experiences general malaise, accompanied by severe headaches, elevated body temperature and swollen lymph nodes.

In almost 90% of cases, the source of gonorrhea is located in the genitourinary system. The patient will begin to experience the first symptomatic pain only 5 days after infection.

The most common symptoms are purulent and mucous discharge, which is accompanied by severe pain when urinating. In addition, severe itching is often observed at the site of the lesion.

Gonorrhea, as a rule, does not go away without a trace. The patient's testicles become swollen, severe pain appears, and, as a result, infertility may develop. That is why it is extremely important to diagnose gonorrhea on time, and then immediately begin the correct treatment.

What is genital herpes

A disease such as herpes can be transmitted from person to person through sexual intercourse and kissing. Typically, this infection is called the herpes simplex virus.

The first symptoms of the disease will begin to appear within a few days after contact with an infected person, and primary herpes, in practice, is more painful compared to relapses. The problem is described in more detail in the article - Genital herpes: symptoms, origin, routes of infection.

The most common manifestations of herpes in male patients are the following symptoms:

painful urination;
painful sensations;
watery blisters;
heat;
burning, irritation,
muscle and joint pain;
decreased appetite;
feeling tired;
enlarged lymph nodes in the groin area.

Relapses can appear within a couple of weeks or months. Repeated outbreaks of this disease in men can be provoked by the following factors:

prolonged stress;
irritation of the genital organs;
physical overload.

It is worth noting that men experience recurrent herpes much less often than women.

Elimination of harmless pubic acne

If the rashes are associated with the consequences of improperly performed depilation or failure to comply with personal hygiene rules, then you can cope with them at home .

How to get rid of ulcers yourself?

The following manipulations will help with this:

Application of soothing compresses, tampons soaked in iodine .
Treating the skin with disinfectants, a decoction of medicinal herbs ( chamomile, calendula ).
Application of ichthyol, zinc ointment, glycerin with the addition of aspirin to relieve the inflammatory process.

Leading a healthy lifestyle, safe sex, and maintaining good personal hygiene several times reduce the likelihood of acne on the female and male genital organs.

Drug treatment

How you can get rid of acne on the penis depends on the cause of its occurrence. For allergies, antihistamines are used in the form of tablets and gels. For severe urticaria, corticosteroids may be recommended.

Inflammation of the follicle is treated with antibacterial agents. Levomekol, Vishnevsky liniment and other analogues are used. Antiseptic treatment is required. For viral infections, antiviral drugs and immunomodulators are needed. Antibiotics are useless in these cases.

For fungal infections, topical antimycotics are used - Candide cream, Clotrimazole, Pimafucin. In severe cases, Fluconazole tablets and drugs to stimulate the immune system are additionally prescribed.

What to do if a pimple on the penis is a consequence of dermatitis depends on the severity of the symptoms. In some cases, the use of antiseptics is sufficient; for severe inflammation, corticosteroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory ointments are used.

Prevention measures

To protect yourself from the reappearance of white, red, painful pimples in the groin, you need to follow these recommendations:

Take a shower 2 times a day.
Use special skin care products in the intimate area (refuse toilet and laundry soap).
Avoid promiscuity.
Eat right (limit spicy, salty, sweet foods).
Wear clean underwear made from natural fabrics.
Be sure to wash your underwear after purchasing them.
Never squeeze pimples.
Be careful when visiting beauty salons where depilation and epilation are performed.
Promptly address and treat sexually transmitted diseases.

As you can see, there are many reasons for the appearance of acne in intimate places: hormonal imbalance, hypothermia, sexually transmitted diseases, etc.

Only a comprehensive examination by a gynecologist, urologist, dermatologist, or virologist will help a specialist make an accurate diagnosis, prescribe the correct treatment to eliminate acne, as well as the disease itself, the symptom of which is red, white rashes in the groin.

Medicines and topical products

Pimples on the penis are often treated with sage

Traditional medicine knows how to treat acne on the penis, but medicinal methods are still more effective in treating this delicate problem. Among folk remedies, it is allowed to use decoctions of medicinal herbs - chamomile, calendula, sage, oak bark. This method can only be used as an auxiliary method, but not as the main one.

Gels and ointments help get rid of acne

Red, white, purulent and other types of pimples on the penis must be treated after determining the cause of their origin. Typically, this pathology is easily treated with internal or local medications. Only in the most exceptional cases do doctors recommend surgery, but only after all other treatments have been tried.

If the appearance of acne is caused by unsanitary conditions, then you should wash the genitals and apply zinc ointment to the acne. Using the ointment three times a day will dry out acne and reduce inflammation on the skin. For a bacterial infection on the skin of the penis, antibiotic ointment - tetracycline, erythromycin - will help well. But a medical specialist must prescribe the ointment.

Clotrimazole ointment fights pathogenic flora and pathogens in the genitourinary system. The product has a wide range of effectiveness against various pathogens, destroys their cells, and has a long-lasting effect on the skin.

Fluconazole gel is an antifungal drug that acts locally, eliminating redness, itching and swelling of the skin in a few days. Recommended for secondary etiology of acne on the penis.

This group of drugs has bactericidal and bacteriostatic properties. The double effect is aimed at the death of parasitic cells of organisms and preventing their reproduction. Ampicillin and Flemoxin are effective remedies against inflamed acne and redness of the skin surface. Along with antibacterial therapy, antihistamines are taken, since during treatment allergic symptoms may arise to the active effect of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Causes and symptoms of rashes

Pimples can appear on an organ under the influence of various factors. They can be located directly on the barrel or on the head. The reasons are the same in both cases:

Hormonal changes during puberty - testosterone production increases in the body, causing the glands to function more intensively. When the excretory ducts are blocked, pimples appear.
Poor hygiene – smegma constantly accumulates under the foreskin, which under favorable conditions provokes the spread of bacteria. As a result, irritation appears on the skin, then inflammation, rashes.
Unhealthy diet - after eating spicy, smoked, or too fatty foods, sebum is produced in excess, clogs the pores, resulting in the formation of small pimples.
Wearing synthetic underwear - it does not allow air to pass through, which distorts normal heat exchange. The result is skin irritation and unhealthy formations.
Allergies - may occur when using unsuitable detergents and some contraceptives.
Various diseases - balanoposthitis, dermatitis, fungus, psoriasis, venereal diseases, tumors.

There may be several reasons for the formation

If pimples appear on the trunk, the cause may be inflammation that affects the hair follicles. It provokes the appearance of pustular formations. The culprit is improper depilation. In all cases, the clinical picture is the same: white tubercles or pustules are observed on the penis. Large rashes one centimeter in diameter are less common.

Rash due to lack of hygiene

Many men believe that pimples form for no apparent reason, but they do not disappear for a long time. In medicine, this phenomenon is called comedones. These are small cysts consisting of clumps of sebum and dead skin cells. In simpler terms, white pimples are clogged glands that do not cause inflammation. Sebum production occurs constantly; to remove excess sebum, the ducts must always remain open. But this is not always possible. Under the influence of external factors, the pores become clogged and, as a result, pimples appear. Among the main ones:

poor hygiene of the intimate area;
casual sex;
hormonal disorders;
bad habits;
Unhealthy Lifestyle;
weakened immune system;
physical exhaustion.

If hygiene is poor, white pimples may appear.

If white bumps appear on the head of a man as a result of poor hygiene, treatment involves following a simple rule - regular hygienic treatment with antibacterial agents. Squeezing pimples is strictly prohibited, as infection can enter the wound. External preparations - Differin or Skinoren ointments - will help to open the formations. They are applied to the damaged areas every day for three weeks. There are also other treatment methods - mechanical and surgical, but only a dermatologist can prescribe them. To prevent disorders, it is recommended to adjust your diet and give up bad habits.

Ingrown hairs and uncomfortable underwear

When acne is observed at the base of the organ, on the scrotum, this is the result of sloppy shaving or wearing tight underwear made of synthetic materials. In the first case, the hairs grow into the skin, injure it, resulting in rashes. The situation is quite dangerous - if microorganisms get into microtraumas, serious inflammation is possible.

When wearing underwear made of dense material, a so-called greenhouse effect occurs in the groin area. Organs do not receive the required amount of oxygen, which disrupts blood supply and creates a favorable environment for bacteria to multiply. Under the influence of these factors, the glands cannot cope with the production of secretions, and as a result, small pimples form. If pathogenic microorganisms get on the skin, not only irritation is possible, but also serious illnesses that affect the entire body. Urgent medical attention is required for symptoms:

itching and burning in problem areas and in the urethra;
nagging pain;
discomfort when urinating.

These problems cannot be eliminated through hygiene procedures alone. You need to go to a venereologist who will conduct an examination and select a regimen.

Hormonal changes

It is not always necessary to treat white pimples that appear on the head of the penis. This is the norm for teenagers. Under the influence of hormones, the sebaceous glands work intensively and provoke the formation of a rash in the form of tubercles under the skin. Over time, they disappear, but sometimes accompany a person throughout his life without causing inconvenience.

White bumps on the penis in teenagers are completely safe, but if you scratch and squeeze them, negative consequences cannot be avoided. When the skin is injured, microorganisms can penetrate into the wound. In this case, you need to regularly wash your genitals with an antibacterial agent and lubricate the pimples with antiseptic ointments. To prevent the appearance of a rash, you need to follow simple recommendations:

Choose intimate care products carefully.
Wear loose underwear made from natural materials.
Maintain hygiene standards.
Follow the rules of nutrition and exercise in moderation.
Support immunity.

Exercise is beneficial for teenagers to normalize hormonal levels.

When starting sexual life, it is important to carefully select partners and be sure to use contraception. You should also visit your doctor regularly to help identify problems and resolve them.

What is genital herpes

A disease such as herpes can be transmitted from person to person through sexual intercourse and kissing. Typically, this infection is called the herpes simplex virus.

In men, this disease affects the scrotum, penis, and buttocks. In practice, infection occurs during direct sexual contact with a person affected by herpetic rashes. It is not necessary that infection can occur from a person with visible symptomatic manifestations of the disease - you can become infected with herpes even if he is a hidden carrier of such an infection.

The most common manifestations of herpes in male patients are the following symptoms:

painful urination;
painful sensations;
watery blisters;
heat;
burning, irritation,
muscle and joint pain;
decreased appetite;
feeling tired;
enlarged lymph nodes in the groin area.

Relapses can appear within a couple of weeks or months. Repeated outbreaks of this disease in men can be provoked by the following factors:

prolonged stress;
irritation of the genital organs;
physical overload.

It is worth noting that men experience recurrent herpes much less often than women.

The main principle of protection against genital herpes is having a permanent healthy partner. The fact is that a condom will not adequately protect a person from this infectious disease. But even if you become infected, you shouldn’t despair too much, since with good immunity, herpes is safe for life.

Which doctor will help?

Treatment and diagnosis of the disease must be carried out by a specialist

Pimples that appear in the penis area can be treated by a dermatologist or venereologist. It all depends on the reason that led to their development. After collecting anamnesis, the doctor will direct the patient to undergo the necessary laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods. It is also necessary to differentiate the existing disorder from growths, ulcers and rashes.

Patients with pimples on the genital organ are prescribed the following diagnostic measures:

Analysis of urine.
Analysis for the presence of papillomavirus.
Blood analysis.
Test for the presence of syphilis.
A swab from the urethra.
Ultrasound of the pelvic cavity.

Self-diagnosis does not bring any results. It must be done by a specialist. It is worth noting that tests are paid. The cost of most of them starts from 180 rubles.

Patients also have to pay for initial and subsequent consultations with a doctor. An appointment with a venereologist or dermatologist costs men 350 rubles and more. The final cost of the visit depends on the prestige of the clinic and the specialist.

In no case should you try to rip off the white bumps on the head of the penis or on the shaft. It is strongly recommended not to treat them with anything before visiting a specialist. Before going to the doctor, you just need to thoroughly wash your genitals. No other preparation is required.

Why do acne appear?

In the case of a prolonged course of the disease, the blisters begin to grow together and burst, forming small ulcers on the skin. This property is characteristic of a disease such as herpes, which, in addition to the external manifestations of the rash, can additionally contribute to severe pain when urinating, which will indicate deeper damage to the genital organs.

The appearance of acne on the skin of the penis can also be a consequence of gonorrhea, which, along with herpes, affects most organs, affecting not only the genitourinary system, but also the mucous membrane of the eyes, mouth, pharynx and other organs.

In almost 90% of cases, the source of gonorrhea is located in the genitourinary system. The patient will begin to experience the first symptomatic pain only 5 days after infection.

The most common symptoms are purulent and mucous discharge, which is accompanied by severe pain when urinating. In addition, severe itching is often observed at the site of the lesion.

In this case, the disease should be identified in time, and then treatment should begin immediately, otherwise the pathogens will reach the prostate and affect the seminal vesicles. Then the patient’s condition will worsen significantly, and will be accompanied by painful and frequent urination and the appearance of pain during bowel movements.

Another disease that has similar symptoms is chlamydia. In case of infection with chlamydia, a rash, purulent and mucous discharge, blisters on the skin of the genital organ, and pimples appear. Over the long course of the disease, symptoms may disappear without a trace, while the disease itself will continue to progress, transforming into a chronic form. By the way, urogenic trichomoniasis can show similar symptoms, so it is important to distinguish between these problems.
