Penis Pimple
by irishlost, May 24, 2007 12:00AM
Approx 2 weeks ago (following sex night before) I noticed what looked like a pimple under the outside of my foreskin.
It was skin coloured - stupidly I messed around with and it burst - it bled for a few minutes but there was no other discharge.
15 days on it is still there, I have picked at it twice since then which could well be why it has not gone.
It is about the size of a pea with a little crater in it, no pain and the only time it has been tender is for a few hours after each time I have burst it.
I had sex outside of my marriage approx 2 months before this appeared,
Any ideas please?

I think it's probably a cyst, not an STD. I suggest you leave it alone and show it to a doctor so you can find out for sure and then ignore it. Whoever examines you can discuss whether you need an STD testing because of your extramarital exposure.
Take care.
