Could red bumps on penis and sore throat be due to smoking?
human
Hi, I had small red bumps on my penis right under the head for about a week. there was no discomfort, itching or burning. They went away on there own and there are no scabs or crust, just a small red spot where it was bumpy. It was also mainly on the left side of the penis and occured after I had a tiny cut from friction during intercourse. now that it is completely healed up (seemingly) i have a slight pressure or tingling sensation in the penis that is barely even noticable. I also have a somewhat sore throat and cough ( I have been chain smoking because of the stress, possibly the cause?) I am uncircumsized and have recently changed body wash and used a new lube.

Hello,Your sore throat might be due to smoking as it acts as an irritant to the throat and lungs and may provoke infection as well. Red bumps over penis has number of reasons ranging from irritation, infections and certain skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. If these bumps are recovering itself with just good lubrication its fine, if not go and see your doctor you might have encountered some sort of infection.Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Sameen Bin Naeem, General & Family Physician
