I also have a lot of cyst like bumps under the shaft of my penis. After sex one or two of them have become irritated. they almost look like pimps. I am also concerned  because I took my temperature and have a fever of 99.

Hi,

This could be due to acne/pimples/ or infection of the hair follicles called folliculitis or some bacterial infection/ fungal infection or some skin nodules etc.

Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.

It would be best to reconsult your doctor about your symptoms if they do not resolve and get a proper clinical examination.

Keep the area clean and wear clothes washed in a few drops of chlorhexidine preferably and dried in the sun.

You could take oral antihistamine or antiallergic medications for the itching.

Let us know about what your doctor advises.

Regards.

This bump does not resemble a lesion. It mainly looks like a pimple. I have very present hair follicle bumps under the shaft which i have been told is normal. I am wondering if it is normal fo them to get irritated from sex

Hi,

It is indeed normal for the follicles to get irritated due to friction or any other trauma , even tight clothing and sweat accumulation.

You should wear lose , comfortable clothes. Keep the area clean and avoid sweat accumulation.

How are you doing now? Have you consulted your doctor for a clinical examination?

Post us about any other doubts that you have and about what your doctor has advised.

Regards.
