As a rule, it is of an incoming character and appears after the use of barrier means of contraception (condoms, caps or creams in the partner), very rarely an allergic reaction can occur on the protein of the female vaginal secretion. These manifestations decrease and disappear after excluding contact with possible allergens.

2. Red spots on the penis: thrush

It is also characterized by itching, the appearance of a red small rash, in addition, a touch of curdled consistency with an acidic odor. Fungi of the genus Candida are conditionally pathogenic "inhabitants" of our organism, i.e. Are present in the normal microflora always, their development is inhibited by "useful" bacteria. So, with a decrease in immunity, fungal growth can begin on its own. But also it is transmitted and sexually. Treatment should be prescribed by a doctor, since getting rid of the rash on your own, you can get complications.

3. Red spots on the penis: genital herpes

It appears as a bubble rash on the glans penis with transparent contents, which gradually grows turbid, unbearable itching, redness. The virus of genital herpes can affect not only the skin of the penis, but also penetrate into the organs and tissues of the genitourinary system. Therefore it is very important to start treatment on time.

4. Red spots on the penis: psoriasis

As a rule, it has common manifestations on the skin and is not limited only to the genital area . Nevertheless, with psoriasis, red spots have clear boundaries, rise above the surrounding skin, and on their surface are always located whitish scales. Exacerbation of psoriasis usually occurs during the cold period, but it is often caused by ultraviolet radiation, infectious diseases, etc.

Red spots on the penis, as well as various tubercles, vesicles, ulcers, painful and painless, accompanied by itching or not - all these manifestations require immediate treatment to a specialist, comprehensive examination and prompt start of treatment. The course must be completed until the end, because the disappearance of unpleasant symptoms does not mean that the pathogen is destroyed. The criterion of cure is the repeated negative result of the examination (for the presence of this or that pathogen) at certain intervals after the therapy. In the case where the symptoms persist for a long time with negative results of the analysis for the microflora, it is necessary to suspect an oncological disease and to conduct a morphological study of the altered tissue.

And of course, it should be remembered that elementary rules of personal hygiene and a healthy lifestyle will help to avoid the majority of intimate problems.
