Reddish spot on penis. Help please. :(

Reddish spot on penis. Help please. :(

I'm 16 years old and recently I've found a spot on my foreskin, I don't know how long it has been there though.

The spot is about in the middle of my penis. I tried to pop it, I squeezed it and only a little bit of yellow pus came out, it didn't make the spot much smaller.

I squeezed it again later on and a small amount of yellow pus came out and after a bit the spot went like an inflamed red color. It wasn't this color before I squeezed it, it was kind of a skin color.

I've always had these tiny bumps all over my penis and scrotum though, I've read that these are normal. The spot I am describing kinda looks like one of these bumps that has gotten enlarged,

I haven't had sex so I don't think this is a STD or anything.

Any information/advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

This morning I saw the lump had a 'head' on it again so I squeezed it and a little amount of pus came out but I still don't think it made it any smaller. :(

its probably an ingrowing hair , they come and go. you will also have pearly penile papules  which are like flesh/white bumps under the skin all over and both are totaly normal ! x x

Hello and thanks for your reply.

The spot as I said has a kind of white-head on it, every morning it has a bigger head on and it can be popped quite easily, but the thing is when I pop it, the spot doesn't seem to go down in size, it just seems to fill up with more pus later on.

Is this a bad sign? Should I just not keep popping it and let it go away on it's own?

Thanks

when it pops put a flannel with warm water on it and leave it because the more you mess its likly to scar . x x

The spot has now stopped being red and has now gone kind of skin colored again and it seems like its gone white and hard.

Would this be a cause for concern?

Thanks.

Hello.

I still have this spot and recently it wont as easy as the last times I popped it, it kind of feels like it's gone hard. I'm getting worried now to say the least, I just hope it goes away. :(

Hello again.

I've managed to take some pictures of the spot, but they are not very good quality.

The pictures are of the same spot, just different angles.

Forgot to say, please note the white dots on the spots are from the camera reflection.

I think the lump has now gotten smaller and it's starting to somewhat 'flake' and it feels rough... Is this a good sign?
