Jonathan Hatch About Penis Pimples: Believe it or not, a lot of men wonder about pimples on their penises. It should be made clear that acne does not usually affect the genital areas. If you're noticing pimple-like infections on your penis, there's a good chance you've contracted a strain of genital herpes. If you think you might have herpes, go get screened for STDs as soon as possible to avoid further complications. If you're fairly certain you can't have herpes, go see a dermatologist and have them take a look at your pimples.

As opposed to the advice about getting rid of acne, how to get rid of pimples poses a different sort of problem.

Don't pop that pimple right away. Popping a pimple prematurely, before you can see the puss about to burst the skin, can cause a mild skin infection, a cyst (by pushing the infection further down into the pore), or even worse, a terrible scar. Wait until you can see the yellow puss about to break through the skin.
Prepare for a small surgical pimple removing procedure. You'll need a small sewing needle, a bottle of alcohol, some gauze (or a small band-aid), and some warm water. Some people think you'll need to run a needle through a flame. This isn't Dr. Quinn Medicine woman. Rubbing alcohol will do.
Wash your face and hands before attempting to pop the pimple. Washing your face and hands ensures that all makeup, oils, germs and bacteria are no longer near the pimple you're about to burst. Also, dip a majority of the needle in the alcohol, and for safe measure apply some of that alcohol to your fingers and the pimple--dabbing with some gauze to dry the area.
Prick the white part of the pimple very lightly with the tip of your needle. Once you've done that, put two small squares of gauze on either side of the pimple and apply pressure with two fingers to ensure that the remaining puss is squeezed out of the pore, retaining pressure until clear liquid appears. When clear liquid or blood appears, you'll know the pimple is gone.
Wipe the pimple clean with an alcohol soaked gauze pad. It'll sting a little, but that's a good thing. The alcohol will kill most of the bacteria in and around the wound, helping you to avoid an infected pimple. If you wish, you can put a small, sterile bandaid on the area or cover it with an antibacterial concealer.

Pimple Treatment Products The latest in pimple removal products is a device called the Zeno. Mind you, this isn't an instant pimple removing product, rather it works by applying a very intense heat to the pimple through a metal tip at the top of the device. This heat supposedly kills the bacteria and micro-organisms found to be the source of the inflamation, allowing your skin to heal naturally once the offending germs are destroyed. I can't attest to the effectiveness of the Zeno, and any media coverage you may have seen about the device is most certainly a product itself--of the marketing geniuses who are making people shell out $200 for a pimple popping product. Well, it doesn't actually pop the pimple, but that was some clever alliteration, wasn't it? If you're willing to pay that much to cure yourself of the occasional pimple, then maybe the Zeno is worth your hard earned cash.
