Small bump where shaft meets scrotum

[johndoe333]

Hello, about 4 weeks ago I had protected vaginal sex and also received unprotected oral sex.  Just a few days ago I noticed a small bump right where the scrotum meets the shaft.  It was hard for me to notice this at first because I have what I think is called sebaceous prominence (white cyst-like bumps on shaft and scrotum) so the bump just sort of blended in with the others.

I noticed it is larger then the other bumps and has a little red around it.  I have had no other herpe-like symptoms so I am not too worried but am still concerned.  Perhaps a genital wart?

Also I was wondering if it is possible that it is just one of the sebaceous bumps that is a little infected and has swollen up a bit?  Or possibly some sort of in grown hair?

If so, the swelling/infection should go down in a few days right?


Not to gross anyone out but is it possible I could send a picture of the bump so you can give me a more accurate diagnosis?


Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

HI, in the world of herpes new infections rarely breakout at the scrotum because it does not make direct rubbing contact as is kind of hidden and protected by the testicles. It is possible to have a recurrent outbreak there but also rare as outbreaks most often reoccur at the same spot. Of couse only testing would be conclusive but i would not be concerned its herpes at all.
Even with the oral would not be possible unless she kissed that area hard with her lips but again the skin is too thick for the virus to enter into the nerve.

Its just not an area of concern. Those would be the shaft and pubic mound area for the most part.
