small red itchy bump
by coco29, Aug 25, 2006 12:00AM
For the last month I have had a small red itchy bump under the head of my penis. This occured a couple weeks after unprotected oral sex with another man. The area has stayed red for the last month and you can make out a very tiny flat mark, almost looks like a divet right beneath the head of my penis. it is right underneath where the head of the penis comes together. I can feel it sting a little in the shower and gets more irratated after masturbation. the area continues to stay red
