Hello and thanks for the query.

These pimples are most likely from inflamed hair follicles. We refer to this as folliculitis.

With folliculitis some oils get into the follicle duct and can cause a tiny inflammation or infection to occur.

This is not uncommon and it can be easily taken care of with a few simple steps.

First - make sure to shower every day washing the area well with soap. Also every couple of days I advise that you take a good warm soak in the bathtub for 30 minutes. The soak will help open the follicles and release trapped oils.

Within a couple of weeks hour symptoms should be much improved.

Tha la again for the query. I hope my response has been helpful and informative. If you have additional concerns I would be happy to address them.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga

So is there any kind of cream or ointment i can buy for this?

Answered by Dr. Robert Galamaga (9 hours later)

Hello again.

You can use a topical antibiotic cream such as Neosporin which may help. There is a prescription cream called Mupirocin, which is more powerful, but I would reserve use of that for the time being. Lastly, try to cut back the masturbatoon to just once daily for a week or so.

Thanks again for the query. Please let me know if I may be of any additional assistance.

Regards.
