Hello Dr.,
About 3 days ago I noticed a pimple on the shaft of my penis, toward the base of it. It is the size of a typical pimple that one would have on their face and looks exactly like one as well. It is red in color, with no fluid discharge whatsoever. In my stupidity, I remembered that in my younger years a little bit of toothpaste cleared up my pimple problems by drying them out, so I placed a dab of toothpaste on it to dry it out. I just washed it off a few minutes ago, and it looks like I irritated it because there was a very tiny bit of blood on the top (like when one shaves over a pimple) ,however it did shrink a little.
I been with my girlfriend for about 4 years, I have been completely faithful, and we have ALWAYS practiced safe sex (with the exception of oral sex being unprotected). I have never had any sexual contact with anyone in my life besides her. I have never had any sort of pimple,wart,growth or anything of that nature since we have been sexually active. She had one sexual partner about 2 years before me, and she did have STD testing done with the results being negative.Bottom line, neither of us have ever cheated and have had oral and vaginal sex with eachothe only. Lately I have been shaving my pubic hair, with a razor blade. I was wondering if the pimple may be an ingrown hair because my hair has been growing back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
