red bump near penis

by Ryank, Feb 08, 2006 12:00AM
Hey, I've been on accutane for 6 months and I can't recall any other time this has happened but there is a small red sortof bump near my penis, its about where pubic hair starts.  I haven't had sex in over 6 months, so I don't know if this is just accutane doing this because I do get a rash sometimes on my hands and arms since I've been on accutane so, I'm not sure what or why this is happening.  It doesn't itch or hurt either.  Please help.

I don;t think this bump is likely to be related to either sex or Accutane.  It's probably a blocked follicle.  These are common in the groin.  I advise you to leave it alone, and show it to a doctor next time you go if it's still there.

Take care.
