Wierd acne on penis.
by Wowsa, Jul 19, 2005 12:00AM
Well it seems like everytime i have sex, without a condom i get a single zit on the side of my penis. I think it's a zit i don't know. Usually i take a shower and wash down there with dial soap, but this time i just rinsed off with water. Then when i woke up the next morning there was the zit. It's been there for 3 days. It's not painful at all and doesn't seem to me oozing or anything.
I got in the shower today and tried to pop it. Well i didn't have much luck. It didn't pop, but it did start to bleed around the area of the zit for a little while. I'm not sure what is goin on. I have no symptoms of STDs, like herpes. I'm not suffering from cold like symptoms. There's only one spot. No pain or anything. What can i do to get rid of this? Should i let it go or what? It's not the zit that bothers me. It just looks like i have an STD, and i don't want to freak anyone else out.

I have to assume that it's juts a clogged pore and that sex makes it more visible. Popping it will make it last longer, so best not to. I suggest applying bacitracin or neosporin ointment once daily. Have a doctor check it out if it persists, and if it's no problem--I;m sure it will be no problem--just tell prospective partners that that's the case. They always go away of left alone.
