    Small bumps on the epidermis of the penis may be caused by friction, folliculitis, allergies, etc., which require attention to avoid delaying the condition.

    1. Be subject to friction

    In daily life, if you do not pay attention to local care or the material of the underwear is not particularly good, it may cause friction in the local area. You need to choose loose cotton underwear to reduce some adverse reactions.

    2. Folliculitis

    It refers to the inflammation and infection that occurs in the hair follicles, which will affect the skin after being irritated. It needs to be treated with erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, tacrolimus ointment and other drugs as directed by the doctor.

    3. Allergy

    If you have a sensitive body and are stimulated by allergens, it will also affect you. You need to use ebastine tablets, loratadine syrup, levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets and other drugs as directed by your doctor.

    In addition, it may be caused by sebaceous gland hyperplasia, genital warts, genital herpes, etc. Standard treatment is required to help the symptoms gradually improve.
