Many men experience such common nuisance as white acne on their heads. In addition to the head, they can also occur under the skin of the penis or on the bridle. And immediately there are negative thoughts about a sexually transmitted disease. Of course, many such diseases manifest themselves with exactly these symptoms, but it may not be a sexually transmitted infection at all.
When you find acne on your head, the wisest decision in this situation will be to contact a urologist or venereologist. This must be done at least to ensure that the doctor excludes the presence of formidable sexually transmitted diseases, such as condylomas, chlamydia, etc. Moreover, these doctors are faced with such symptoms very often and will be able to quickly establish the truth.
Before going to the doctor, you can independently conduct a simple test. Take a cotton swab, dip it in a solution of acetic acid (medical 5%), smear acne on the head and leave it there for three minutes. If after this period of time the places anointed with the solution turn white - then most likely it is condyloma, if the color has not changed - most likely, this is a common pimple.
One of the reasons why acne appears on the head is puberty in adolescents. They, as a rule, do not cause any inconvenience, but can sometimes be painful during intercourse. If they arose for this reason, then do not particularly worry about how to treat acne of this origin. The procedure will occur in the same way as in the treatment of acne in more familiar places. This is primarily a review of nutrition, the purity of the penis, and in no case squeeze them. But to exclude other diseases, it is also advisable to consult a doctor.
There are cases when acne on the head is accompanied by the appearance of acne throughout the penis, on which they turn red or black. This species in its features and physiological structure is the same as the type of acne that appears on the face. Squeezing them in this place, as well as on the face, is strictly prohibited. After all, when you remove white masses from the pimple channel in this way, dirt and infections can get inside the wound. This is fraught with inflammation, abscess and other complications that will have to be treated with serious medications, antibiotics, and with especially serious consequences, even surgical intervention may be necessary. Therefore, in order to prevent this, it will be enough to monitor your hygiene, namely, rinse thoroughly all these places under running water using a special bactericidal soap or gel. If this is done correctly and regularly, then these acne will go away on their own after a while.
Another reason for the occurrence of these unpleasant moments is a possible increase in the sebaceous glands. This happens very rarely, and for this reason it is not worth worrying, since it does not pose any danger and does not spread sexually.
But all of the above does not exempt you from visiting a doctor in identifying such or similar symptoms. If it turns out to be a sexually transmitted disease, then it is easier to cure at an early stage than when it is already a chronic form.
