Hello,

i've heard a few posts to do with this problem and read everyone of them, and on many different forums, and to be honest some people even paying money to post on forums to get answers for this very known problem, with only to get the reply of "please go see your doctor".
People are posting on forums for reasons of being embarrassed which they will stay clear from doctors until atleast getting a small peice of help, well I hope this does help.

When I hit 16 I got the `pimples on the penis` they have stayed with me until im 25+ with no look of getting better, until I found a dermatologist which I went to for a totally different reason and was prescribed a drug called `roaccutane`. This drug taken 2-3 times daily got rid of the pimples within a month of the medication. I mentioned it to the dermatologist and he didn't have a clue this medication would have worked so well in those areas.

All I can suggest is if you have this problem, please do some study on the dermatology medication - roaccutane, on the internet or the library, if your confident enough after that, please go see your dermatologist and advise him on this medication.
Please study it first as this medication has effects which you need to read up on.

I hope this sheds light on anyone else with this problem.

Penis Pimples ?
I have had a small bump (just one) about an inch up the shaft for a couple weeks now, I thought it might be a pimple, it does have a black dot in the center, when I squeezed it, clear puss came out, it hurts a bit if I touch it but not otherwise. I wonder if this fits the description of what you're calling penis pimples ? If not does anyone have any experience or ideas ? Thank you

Yes it does, if when you squeeze them and puss comes out.
It is the sebaceous glands in your body creating pimples in pubic area's.
It would be best to do some research on that medication and see if it fits your description, then see your dermatologist when you can and ask him about that drug (in first post).

So, it sounds like this is not an std then, or contagious in some way to a female partner?

My son has those, his look just like pimple with white head.
They told him he didnt get them til puberty cuz that is when a guy gets them. He was so worried about it, even got them burned off one time. Boy, did that hurt him, he almost passed out from the pain. They came right back. Only has them around his head, and has many of them.
