bump on penis?

by xconcerned, Jan 04, 2009 12:12AM
My significant other has had this dime shape circle bump under the head of his penis.He says it does not hurt or itch in any way.At first we thought that it might be a ring worm but we have done alot of research we dont know if it is that or not but under the bump it feels a little weird.the circle occasionaly gets smaller in size but returns back to normal a little later.We are worried that it might be something serious.Is there anyone that can give us good help or anything?we also have this theory that it might be a peice of broken flesh.

Hello,

I cannot confirm anything without examination,but it can be pityriasis rosea. Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and very occasionally by itching.

No treatment is usually required. In most patients, the condition lasts only a matter of weeks or months(upto six months)

If the rash persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.Other possibilities have to be ruled out then.They include discoid eczema and ringworm.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing and if you have any additional queries.
