It is generally not normal to have pimples on the foreskin. This condition may indicate recurrent inflammation of the foreskin or glans, which is often related to poor personal hygiene habits, irritation from smegma, and other factors. Patients with phimosis are more prone to repeated accumulation of smegma because the foreskin cannot be retracted and the glans cannot be exposed, leading to irritation and subsequent inflammation of the foreskin and glans. When this occurs, patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of a physician. At the same time, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene, including regular washing and frequent changing of underwear, to prevent worsening or recurrence of the condition.
