I'm a 17-year-old who's sexually active and I'm a bit worried about something weird going on. I've noticed more and more small red dots on my penis, and though they don't hurt or itch, if I pinch them, they bleed a tiny bit and feel raw afterward. I had an accident a couple of weeks ago where I cut my foot on a rusty nail, but it seems fine with no infection. I'm on a school trip right now, so seeing a doctor isn't easy. Could this be something serious that I should get checked out? It's just strange because it started with only a few dots and now there are lots more all over the head and foreskin, and it's only been three days. Any idea what this could be?

I'm wondering if Soframycin skin cream is safe to use for cuts on the glans of the penis. If it's not the best option, can you suggest another cream that's more suitable for healing glan cuts? Really looking for the best recommendation.

I would recommend using an antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Bactroban. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for optimal healing. Remember to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.
