If you have pimples in the genital area, know that it is not due to any sexually transmitted disease and in many cases it is perfectly normal but can be embarrassing. One of the reasons why people get pimples on their penis is due to excessive oily sweating or eating too much food, just like pimples on their face. It can also be due to a lack of proper hygiene, and it is important to wash the genital area with some kind of mild soap.

There are many things you can do to get rid of penile pimples. Usually they will just go away on their own, but changing your diet can be an important part of your cure. One of the ways you can change your diet is to make sure you drink plenty of fluids to help flush toxins out of your body. This does not mean coffee or other caffeinated beverages, but water and juices with lots of antioxidants. It also means you need to 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 why you may have pimples on your penis is because of your underwear. If you wear tight underwear, this causes you to sweat more and can contribute to pimples on and around your penis. Wear loose-fitting underwear or breathable cotton that draws moisture away from this area. Using a bit of baby powder in the crotch area can also help, as long as you’re careful not to get under the foreskin if you’re uncircumcised.

You can also use some type of antibiotic ointment on the area, but never use the same type of medication that you would use on your face. Facial pimple creams or pads may contain alcohol and this will greatly irritate the 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 actually make it worse and may even cause bleeding.

There are many other resources to get rid of penile pimples, both online and at your local healthcare provider. In many cases, simple things like the ones mentioned above will make them go away, but if the situation continues or worsens, you should definitely talk to your doctor about it. They may be able to suggest other remedies, or even give you a prescription for some type of oral antibiotic. Many grown men are prone to not talking to their doctor about problems they’re having, and if you’re one of those guys, don’t be. It is more important that any health problems be checked and addressed right away, rather than waiting until it is too late.

Usually, pimples on the penis and genitals go away on their own and there is nothing to worry about, no matter how embarrassing it may seem. Just following simple steps can often get rid of them.
