Such patients need mandatory counseling of the venereologist, and together with the sexual partner.

Purulent acne on the head of the penis is the result of a severe septic process or chronic infection in the body.

Acne on the penis as a common acne is not a rare phenomenon to date. A large number of people suffer from this disease. Heavy forms of the process can capture all areas of the body, including the inguinal region with genitals. The disease is difficult to treat and leaves a lot of mental trauma in patients. As a rule, complete cure does not occur, it is possible only for a while to reduce the brightness of clinical symptoms. There is a theory that with age, the disease goes by itself, but not in all patients.

Remember: no pimples, boils, or abscesses can not be squeezed out and opened, otherwise infection can spread.

As a rule, patients with itching, pain or discomfort immediately go to the doctor, but if they do not worry, they can be treated at home. And this can be fraught with consequences!
