Pimple sized bump on lower shaft

by anisimova, Feb 17, 2007 12:00AM
Recently I got oral sex from my girlfriend for the first time. This is my first time being sexually active with anyone, but not hers.

It is now about 2 weeks later, and I just noticed a pimple-sized skin-colored (a little brighter) bump on the lower shaft of my penis. It is about 2 millimeters long/wide. We did not have sex, but my penis grazed her vagina for about 2 seconds and that was it.

Is there a chance I may have HPV or another STD? I am really worried.

I am only 16 and would not like my parents to find out. I cannot drive. Is there any way i can get myself secretly checked out without my parents finding out?

Thank you

Have you shaved around on your penis?  An ingrown hair could cause this or a very short hair that aggitated by any friction around it, also if the girl has used a douche close to the time you messed around sometimes the things in the douche can make rashes or bumps come up, had a friend that happened to.  So I don't think its a STD if it is just 1 lonely little bump, it could very easily be a pimple too.

Yes I shave

I just notices on the back (or other/under side of my shaft) there is a grouping (8-10) of smaller bumps that are the same color as the skin around it. They aren't as big as a big pimple or the big one on the upper side that i mentioned, theyre about 1 millimeter in width/length.


Is it possible to get some kind of acne on your shaft? What are the chances it is an STD? Does anyone have any ideas? I am really worried.

Okay then it is probably nothing other then a pimple, yes you can get pimples on your penis.  Shaving tends to do that sometimes, it can cause pimples or some of the spots around some of the hairs that you shaved off can turn red if it gets aggitated from friction of any kind, so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

How would you differentiate (sp?) penis pimples from HPV then?

by Chris23, Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM
Pimples will simply look like pimples, as where HPV looks like warts as talked about here http://www.cdc.gov/std/HPV/STDFact-HPV.htm#symptoms If you still feel uncomfortable you can go to the doctor about it.
