Small red bumps on the head frequently become quite frightening phenomenon for noticing them at men, and this is not surprising. All I've heard about dangerous sexually transmitted diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, and other serious diseases that can affect the genitals. When the head in men can appear red pimples and how to treat them – all about it in this article in order.

The cause of the problem

In men, red bumps on the head most often appear when the penetration of infection in the genital tract or inflammation of non-infectious nature.

The infection can reach the reproductive tract:

• through unprotected sex with an infected partner;
• via shared bedding or towels used by the infected person;
• through dirty hands;
• in some cases, through kissing (herpes simplex virus) or shared utensils.

However, the infection can get into the urinary tract not only from outside but also from within the male body. This happens in cases when the immune system is weakened and the normal microflora becomes pathogenic and malicious (for example, thrush). The skin and mucous membranes also lose their protective function and capable of transmitting external infection almost without resistance.

The most common noninfectious inflammation in which can appear red bumps on the head are balanoposthitis (inflammation of foreskin and glans penis) and dermatitis (skin inflammation) that affect the genital area. Also red bumps on the head can appear in men with psoriasis or allergic processes affecting the genital skin.

In some cases, small pimples on the penis are a symptom of the disease, and the anatomical feature of the structure of the genital organs. This feature is found in some men and is considered a harmless cosmetic defect, which does not need to be treated. In addition, it may be sebaceous glands, acting on the surface of the skin of the penis, which is also normal to treat which is not necessary. Most often this occurs in young boys at puberty.

First, it has a creamy consistency, it a little, so the disease is not always seen immediately. After a short period of time, the plaque becomes cheesy and is "stuck" to the head in the form of particles of semolina, becoming dry. The reason for the onset of thrush in men is often a weakening of immune forces as a result of prolonged stress, severe and frequent climate change, chronic diseases and infections. All this leads to the activation in the body conditionally pathogenic microflora, which are the yeast.
