Getting Rid of Penis Pimples

Posted: Nov 22, 2009 |Comments: 2 | Views: 5,690 |

If you have pimples on your genital area, know that it isn't because of some sexually transmitted disease, and in many cases is perfectly normal but can be embarrassing. One of the reasons that people get pimples on their penis is from excessive sweating, or eating too many fatty foods, just like the pimples people get on their faces. It can also be from lack of proper hygiene, and it is important to wash your genital area with some sort of mild soap.

There are many things you can do to get rid of penis pimples. Usually they will simply go away on their own, but changing your diet can be an important part of their cure. One of the ways you can change your diet is to make sure that you are drinking plenty of fluids to help flush toxins out of your body. This doesn't mean coffee or other caffeinated drinks, but water and juices with plenty of antioxidants. It also means that you should cut out fatty processed foods and many may have a hard time doing so. Instead of eating greasy snacks like chips, try rice cakes, dried fruits, snack vegetables, or even nuts.


One of the reasons you may be getting penile pimples is from your underwear. If you are wearing tight fitting underwear, this causes you to sweat more, and can contribute to pimples on and around the penis. Wear loose fitting underwear, or breathable cotton, that will draw moisture away from this area. Using a little baby powder in the crotch area can help as well, as long as you are careful not to get it under your foreskin if you are not circumcised.

You can also use some kind of antibiotic ointment in the area, but never used the same kind of medication you would use on your face. Facial pimple creams or pads can contain alcohol and this will greatly irritate your penis and genital area. You should use the antibiotic ointment very sparingly, and only where the pimples actually are. Whatever you do, don't try to pop a pimple on your penis, this usually doesn't work, and can in fact make it worse, and can even cause bleeding.

There are many other resources on getting rid of penis pimples, both online and at your local healthcare provider. In many cases, simple things like those mentioned earlier will make them go away, but if the situation continues, or worsens, you should definitely speak with your doctor about it. They may be able to suggest other remedies, or even give you a prescription for some kind of oral antibiotics. Many grown men are prone to not talking to their doctor about problems they have, and if you are one of those guys, don't be. It is more important to get any health problems checked out and taken care of right away, rather than wait until it is too late.

Usually penile and genital pimples go away on their own, and is nothing to worry about, no matter how embarrassing it may seem. Just doing simple steps can often get rid of them.

    Nobody wants to be spotty. It is a universal truth. Regardless of how old we become--bad skin, be it the rare zit or full blown acne--is shameful. Acne, in particular, can be a problem for us for much longer than we had counted on when we first entered puberty as young adults. For a long time we've covered our faces with high-priced chemicals and products hoping to keep the acne far from us. But what if you could clear up your skin in much easier and less harmful ways?

    No one really wants to be affected with zits. It really is just the simple truth. It doesn't matter how old we become, zits, pimples, acne -- terrible skin in whatever form it takes -- is embarrassing. Acne, in particular, can be a plague for us for considerably longer than we had counted on when we first entered puberty as young adults. We spend years slathering ourselves with every chemical and acne fighter we can find.
