Two days ago I noticed a small, about 3mm
in diameter and about 2mm in hight, on the
shaft of my penis. When it is pressed it
hurts slightly, much like a pimple would.
It is slightly red, which is the only
thing that makes it noticable. I am a
male, 16 year old virgin and I am
wondering what this pimple like bump would
be caused by. I have done a bit of
research and I have found that it is
possible to get pimples anywhere on your
body, including your genital area. I
have also read a bit about ingrown hairs,
so that is another possiblity.
However I have read about servral std's
that involve pimple like bumps. I highly
doubt it is an std, all I have only had
oral sex once and the girl I did it with
was a virgin.
Also I play hockey, so I was wondering if
it may have been caused by sweat. I have
told my mother about it and if it doesn't
seem to be healing within a few days we
will be schedualing a doctors apointment.
But for now it would be great if you could
share your knowledge with me, possible
causes, cures and mainly what it is.
Thanks in advance.

Its probably just a ingrown hair (since ur
a virgin). Those things hurt really bad.
Just pop it and some junk will squeeze out
(might bleed alittle like a pimple) and
it'll go down by the next day or two

If they are red, and look like there is
something black (a hair) below the surface
they're probably just ingrown hairs. If
they are more skin tone, they can be just
that; zits/pimples. This would likely be
from the sweat (ie: hockey) and not
showering/cleaning well enough afterwards.
If they are skin tone and have a hair
growing from them, they are likely just a
new growing hair.

I can't tell if there is a hair below it
or not because my hair is orange and very
light. I will pop it tonight, shoudn't
cause any harm. I was hopeing to hook up
with a girl within the next two days, so
if I pop it there are still chances of
that.

Well, I guess i'm not very sure how to go
about poping it. I tried with just my
figers but it seemed that no matter how
hard I pinched it, it wouldn't pop. The
only way I can see it poping is by using a
safety pin and poping it like a blister.
Another thing about it, it is soft, not
kind of hard like a zit. I'm pretty sure
it's an ingrown hair, but I can't see the
hair because my hair is so light. Is
there any other way it might heal? Or
should I try poping it with a safety pin.
I have never popeda zit before because I
have pretty clear skin.

If you *really* think that it's ingrown,
the easiest way to take care of it is to
use tweezers. Just lightly pinch the
area where the hair appears to be with the
tweezer. Once you can see the hair, grip
it lightly with the tweezers to pull it
out of the layer of skin that is covering
it, but not so hard as to pull it
completely out (of the root). It may
sound painful, but it really works well if
you know what you're doing and you're
careful.
