The appearance of a suspicious rash (pimples, ulcers, spots, erosion, plaques) in the genital area may indicate dermatological diseases transmitted through sexual contact, infectious, inflammatory and oncological diseases. Below we will tell you what red pimples on the head say , as well as consider the most common rashes on the genitals and describe the main reasons.
A rash is any change in the skin in the intimate area, but by the appearance of pimples it is almost impossible to recognize the true cause of their appearance. And without an accurate diagnosis, treatment is impossible. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist if small pimples on the head:
- Present for more than two weeks, without modifying.
- Pimples are filled with a bloody, cloudy, or clear liquid.
- They are accompanied by swelling of the genital organ and severe itching.
- If the rash has a clearly defined form of red peeling spots.
- They appeared immediately after unprotected sex, accompanied by high fever and an increase in inguinal lymph nodes.
- The appearance of the affected area resembles a deep ulcer.
- Small non-healing wounds form on the genital mucosa.
Red pimples on the head and in the inguinal zone are a sign of the disease
Often, rashes on the penis and scrotum are a sign of a disease. Most diseases have a sexual transmission, it is they that cause the appearance of a red rash. Often the only manifestation of infection is only a rash.
For example, with candidiasis, painful, itchy red rashes appear on the head of the penis and foreskin. Usually, men have a curdled plaque with a sour smell on the head of the penis. Treatment is with antifungal ointments in combination with medications.
If red acne filled with liquid appears on the head, this may be a sign of genital herpes. Genital herpes, as you know, is not completely cured, the virus remains in the cells of the body in a latent state and with reduced immunity can reappear. But, nevertheless, it is necessary to carry out treatment.
Very often, red pimples on the head, scrotum and penis indicate the presence of papillomavirus infection (genital warts). Condylomas look like rounded tubercles of flesh or pink color and sometimes resemble cauliflower. If the infection is not treated, then papillomas and condylomas grow up to several centimeters.
If there is a painless chancre, ulcers, tuberous outgrowths on the genitals, immediately go to the venereologist, because it can be syphilis. This insidious infection causes several varieties of rash, depending on the limitation period. A syphilitic chancre with a shiny bottom and solid edges usually appears within three months after infection.
If treatment has not been carried out, then syphilis goes into the secondary stage: a small pink rash appears on the body, especially in the area of the feet and hands. On the genitals and in the anal area, large densities resembling condylomas are formed.
Large red pimples on the head of the penis and in the groin area are a manifestation of trichophytosis - a fungal infection. This infection is common among the male population. Contribute to its development: obesity, high humidity (profuse sweating or poor hygiene), tight underwear.
Often, spots can be a manifestation of tick-borne borreliosis.
Sometimes red dots form from bites of pubic lice, which cover the hair surface of the genitals and suck blood. You can get pubic lice through sexual contact and personal care products.
