clogged pore on penis

ever since I can remember, I have had a pore on the shaft of my penis that gets clogged from time to time. If I squeeze it, what looks like a pimples comes out. Usually, I just forget about it, but it is annoying when it clogs. I have always been a little embarrassed to talk to a doctor about it and was wondering if there is anything I can do about it short of seeing a dermatologist (which, I know I should do).

Hi there!

Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. Possibilities that may need to be considered include infections, inflammations, cysts etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. These are regular issues related to the body and should not be anything to be embarrassed about.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
