Every man, when he sees white pimples on his head, involuntarily feels restless. After all, no disease should be allowed to drift. Vigilance is especially relevant in our century - scientists have discovered a host of new infections that cannot be diagnosed during examination. It is difficult for a person without a special education to understand what acne, papules, papillae, warts and other formations in the genital area are. Meanwhile, many of them do not pose a threat to health.
1. Small white pimples on the head of the penis, which appeared during the period of growing up, are the norm. Their accumulation is characteristic of the skin at the base of the penis. So the sebaceous glands of the skin of the male genital organs function. Pathological changes are observed if their inflammation begins. The glands turn into painful acne, and nearby skin flows.
To treat inflamed sebaceous glands on a man’s genitals, you must first carefully wash the intimate area with warm water and ordinary soap. Then grease the pimples selectively with iodine or brilliant green. Doctors squeeze out all the formations on the penis, including white pimples on the head. If the inflammatory process of the sebaceous glands of the penis has become chronic, then you should seek medical help.
2. The puberty of young men is accompanied by the formation of others - pearlescent glands that border the head. Pimples look like pointed peaks, turn the smooth edge of the head into a rough touch. The pearlescent glands located on and under the head should not be considered a sign of illness. Normally, such papules do not itch, do not bleed, and do not secrete any fluid. In the opposite case, you need to consult a doctor. Pearly pimples do not grow at the base of the penis, either in groups or alone.
3. Pathological white pimples on the head of the penis cause papillomavirus infection in the initial stage of development of genital warts. A person becomes infected with the virus in different ways, but mainly during sexual contact. Medicine knows more than hundreds of types of papillomas that affect the human body, two of them (the sixth and eleventh) attack the genitals of men.
The disease manifests itself in the form of shapeless growths of the edge of the head, single papillomas and clusters of genital warts. Multiple outgrowths resemble white pimples on the head or papillae, can be flesh-colored.
Treatment of papillomas is possible by removal using liquid nitrogen, electroresection or surgical laser. Complex therapy includes the appointment of immunomodulating and antiviral drugs.
4. Molluscum contagiosum is a viral disease that can occur in all parts of the body, including the genitals. Formations resembling white pimples on the head or on the base of the penis can be observed, painless, can be in the tone of the skin or pinkish.
The virus itself has much in common with smallpox, it becomes infected directly in intimate relationships or through common objects. The molluscum contagiosum remains active for a long time, remaining in the dust of the home. To prevent the disease, it is important to observe hygiene rules and systematically clean residential premises. The patient does not feel a burning sensation or itching, although a secondary infection of a bacterial origin sometimes joins.
The outlook is assessed as favorable. Treatment is prescribed in a medical institution, each pimple formed by a mollusk is opened with tweezers. In some clinics, coagulation is performed by electric shock or scraped with a special tool. Then disinfection procedures follow.
