Yet Another "bumps On My Penis" Thread Posted: 07-11-05 00:58am
Hey everyone, thanks for reading. This is
what's going on.
The beginning: six weeks ago 2 pimple like
bumps appeared on the shaft of my penis.
They were raised, flesh colored and about
1mm in diameter. There wasn't any pain,
discomfort or itching at first. But when
these things didn't heal fast enough
showering would irritate them. So I went
to see my doc and had a culture swab
performed. I was really worried that this
was herpes, but I shouldn't worry cuz i've
been married for 3 years...Right? Well
anyway the analysis came back negative for
hsv, but positive to strep bacteris which
is kinda weird, but my doctor said strep
is a common skin contaminate. So I was
offered a antibiotic prescription, but
declined...Simply because I had healed on
my own by that time.
Now: 5-6 weeks later and hear I am, with
the same damn symptoms. This time 3 bumps
have appeard out of nowhere. No pain, no
itching, no aching...Nothing. If I hadn't
looked down, I wouldn't have even noticed
they were there. By day 2 the tops of
these things have dried up and darkened
like scabs. It just annoys me that they
showed up again. So guys, in your
opinion...Could this be:
1. The same infection that never truly
went away, since I didn't go for
antibiotics.
2. A new infection, caused by yeast
bacteria? I say this because my wife
recently complained of yeast infection
symptoms.
I'm going to try to make another
appointment with my doc, the only problem
is i'm unemployed now and lost my medical
benefits. I guess i'll just bite the
bullet and charge it or something. Any
ideas, experiences or tips?

It's prob. The same and you both need to
be treated at the same time! Strep if
highly contagious. Take the meds even
after the symptoms go away, if you don't,
you're headed right back to the same
problem.
