seed like things in my 12 yr old sons penis

I have been trying to find someone else that has the exact same thing going on as my 12 year old son has...He found a tick last night near his penis, so I checked him for any more he might have. I examined his penis and found two small openings between the shaft and the head o his penis. At the openings it was inflamed and black in color. It was hard like somehing was stuck under his skin. So I took tweezers and trind to pull whatever it was out of his skin. So I ended up pulling a white seedlike thing out of his skin. Each of them was almost as big as a pumpkin seed. My husband nearly passed out!! I kept them for the dr. but we can't get in til Friday. What is this?? This is my little boy.

Was the tick he found already imbedded?  If it was, save it, too.  It can be tested for various tick borne disease.  If you didn't save it, then some antibiotics are in order right away. For kids, it should be amoxicillin for a month. If the doctor wants to "wait and see" or just give him a week or two,  ask for the full month to make sure.  Believe me, you do not want to risk him getting Lyme or other tick borne diseases. They are horrible! Not everybody gets a rash and sore knees, and if the early symptoms are missed, it will be much harder to cure later.

Definitely save the other things you found, too.  It is possible they are engorged ticks.  The nymphs can be quite small, and even when they swell up during a feeding, they don't always look like bugs.
