Q: Genital infection
asked by: DoctorQuestion on May 3rd, 2008
I am circumcised, usually the area where the foreskin would attach is rugose. I just noticed last night that there was a small hard area on the topleft side that when I squeezed it, white discharge came out. It reminded me of a pimple almost, it just wasn't expanded above the surface. I applied betadine to the area. I looked up genital warts and herpes and it doesn't look like any of the pictures there. I don't seem to have any other symptoms. Though as a kid, I would get canker sores from time to time (and my mom had mono before I was born). I had mono a few months before, anyway, lately I am really stressed with final exams and work (I work alot). I have a girlfriend, and I am concerned, that's why I am asking. She never had sex (of any kind) with anyone before me. We've always used a condom in sexual situations, except for oral and masturbation. What are the possible causes, STDs or otherwise, advice? Thanks.

It is very hard to answer your question without seeing that “small hard area on the top-left side that reminds you of a pimple”. It sounds like a kind of infection but all infections on the penis are not sexually transmitted. You may want to visit your primary health provider and a dermatovenerologist, if necessary.
