    Generally, a red acne on the penis may be caused by folliculitis, balanitis and other reasons.

    1. Folliculitis

    It is generally caused by bacterial infection. It is recommended that patients eat less spicy food and apply fusidic acid cream, mupirocin ointment and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.

    2. Balanitis

    It may be caused by friction from clothes or local irritation from detergents. It is recommended to use mupirocin ointment or erythromycin ointment and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

    Patients are advised to pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, bathe frequently, and change personal clothing frequently.
