Question Posted Thursday September 18 2008, 10:43 pm
I have had this red bump on my penis for over a year and I don't know what it is. I have had it since before i had been sexually active, no sex and no oral sex. It is filled with puss like a pimple but lately it had been hurting more than a pimple and seems to be swollen. I dont think it's a pimple because i have had it for over a year. Does anyone know what it could be? Any advice would be helpful. I'm 16 and i have been researching and i know its not herpes or warts.

first of all, have you shown this to a doctor? He would be the best judge to diagnose what it could possibly be, but maybe this could help. I have a brother who seems to have this same problem. Except he has about three or four of them. At least that's what he tells me. We are very close. He has the same bad habit of picking them and they bleed. This is not a good idea for either of you. He finally went to the doctor and he told him that they were moles. I don't know if this is the same in your situation. It's always best to get it checked out by a professional. It might be something simple that is treatable with some topical ointment. I hope I helped and relieved some of your anxiety.
Good luck, [ ediemarie's advice column | Ask ediemarie A Question ]
