There is herpes on the foreskin. What's the matter with small pimples on the foreskin?

The male foreskin is one of the main components of the penis and plays a certain protective role for the penis. However, many men are puzzled by the small bumps on the foreskin. So what is the cause of pimples on the foreskin?

There are several reasons why acne may appear on the foreskin:

Sexual contact transmission

Genital warts: usually occur 3 weeks to 8 months after sexual contact. The lesions are located on the glans penis, coronal sulcus, frenulum of prepuce, urethral orifice, etc. They are soft, nipple-like fleshy bumps that are grayish white, light yellow or pink in color and bleed easily when touched.

Pearly papules

It is more common in normal people aged 20-30 years old. The papules are 1-2 mm in diameter, pearly grayish-white bumps, numerous in number, arranged in two rows, and distributed at the edge of the coronal sulcus. This type of papule does not cause discomfort and does not require treatment.

Tuberculosis of glans

The disease progresses slowly, manifested by the appearance of small brown bumps on the glans penis or coronal sulcus, which may break open and form ulcers.

Villous papilloma

There are miliary-like tumors on the edge of the coronal sulcus, with pink nipple-like protrusions arranged in neat rows. They are particularly obvious and hard when the penis is erect. There is usually no pain or discomfort, but it may damage the woman's vaginal mucosa during sexual intercourse. Surgical resection can be performed for treatment.
