    Pimples on the epidermis of the penis may be caused by folliculitis, genital wart infection, sebaceous cyst, etc., which may cause pimples on the epidermis of the penis, and should be treated in time, otherwise adverse symptoms will occur.

    1. Folliculitis

    Pimples on the epidermis of the penis are also related to folliculitis. If you do not pay attention to local hygiene, it is likely to lead to local bacterial and viral infection, which will induce folliculitis. You need to use anti-inflammatory ointments to treat it. For example, you can choose to use levofloxacin ointment or erythromycin ointment.

    2. Genital wart infection

    Pimples on the epidermis of the penis are generally caused by condyloma acuminata virus infection. This is an infectious disease, mainly caused by human papilloma virus infection. It is likely to cause local cauliflower-like changes, and it needs to be treated with antiviral drugs. For example, ribavirin can be used under the guidance of a doctor, which can inhibit viral infection.

    3. Sebaceous cyst

    Pimples on the epidermis of the penis are generally sebaceous cysts, which are mainly caused by poor personal hygiene for a long time, or are a type of cyst caused by long-term chronic inflammation. If the cyst is too large, it may cause pain and swelling in the neck, and it will also cause a certain sense of local pressure. You need to seek medical examination in time, and if necessary, it needs to be treated by surgical removal.
