My husband has some white spots on his penis. Is this a sexually transmitted disease? Could it infect me?
Doctor, I have a few small bumps under me, which are not painful or itchy. What's the matter, please?

Doctor's Answer:
First of all, regardless of whether a man has white spots, red spots, or small bumps on his penis, do not go to a pharmacy or small outpatient clinic without authorization to buy medication and apply it. Without professional examination to determine the specific cause, blind medication will not only delay the best time for treatment, but may also aggravate the condition.
When similar problems occur, male friends or sexual partners should not be nervous or afraid. After excluding the recent absence of unclean sex and the fact that the condom did not fall off or break during sex, small white spots on the penis may be related to congenital factors, which are generally safe and not contagious.
The presence of small particles or bumps on the penis may be a miliary or pearly papule. The former is a type of skin cyst, often manifested as yellowish white, needle like small papules on the penis. The latter occurs at the junction of the glans border and the coronal sulcus, often presenting as red or white translucent papules. They are also benign lesions, not sexually transmitted diseases, and do not require treatment.
However, it should not be taken lightly. The early symptoms of many sexually transmitted diseases are not obvious. If there are abnormalities, it is necessary to pay more attention and try to ensure that private areas are clean and sanitary at ordinary times. If the symptoms have not disappeared for a long time or recur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner and let a professional doctor judge your condition. Usually, sexually transmitted diseases are easily and completely cured in the early stage.
For sexually transmitted diseases such as condyloma acuminatum, syphilis, and gonorrhea, a simple summary is nine words: early detection, early examination, and early treatment. This can effectively control sexually transmitted diseases and avoid cross and secondary transmission.
