What causes red dots on my penis after masturbating?

Question

Hello doctor,

I get red dots on my penis after masturbating or having sex. It becomes normal after applying Candid B cream and Fusidic acid on the penis. Again after having sex, the red dots, which are very small and sometimes they have a white center, are seen on the penis head. One more thing I would like to mention is, two to three months back after masturbating, my foreskin got swollen on the left side, but after two to three, it became normal. I also took some antibiotics for seven to eight days, but these red dots are coming back. They come in a batch of two to three, and if I do not apply any cream, then it keeps on increasing in number.

Please help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern.

With your description, it seems you have developed candidal balanitis. Red dots, which you described, are known as satellite lesions. I suggest you stop using Candid B (Clotrimazole and Betamethasone dipropionate), as it contains steroids. Do not use it more than five short courses to reduce inflammation. I also suggest using Clotrimazole and Fusidic acid cream twice daily for one month, and tablet Fluconazole 150 mg once a week for four weeks, after consulting your GP or a nearby dermatologist.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

These two creams are separate, mix both and make one fingertip unit (FTU), along with tablet Fluconazole. It does not matter if you have used it earlier. Also, treat your partner for any white discharge from her vagina, this may be the cause of recurrence in your case.

Thank you.
