pimple like bump on penis
by pch/gl, May 10, 2007 12:00AM
I noticed a slightly raised pimple like bump on my penis about 36 hours after i had intercourse. There is only one bump. it has been there for 3 days now. I have had no other symptoms. no pain, no fever, no itching, no problems urinating. is this something i should worry about or just an ingrown hair/ pimple/ general skin irritation?

It sounds like a clogged pore, not an STD. I advise you to leave it alone other than to apply bacitracin or neosporin on it once a day. It should resolve in a few days. If it persist or spreads, you can have a doctor take a look.
Take care.
