Question 1

i have a bump at the base of penis that looks + feels like a zit. hurts to masturbate, doesn't hurt to pee. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

May be just an acne: It's most likely just an infected hyperactive sebaceous gland like an acne on the face. Its occurrence will not affect how you urinate, but give you some local pain &amp; irritation. It tends to recur once infection once took place; so, it may require surgical ablation or excision. But, without inspection / palpation, it's still hard to give an accurate Dx. So, see Doc for sure detail and care. Best..

how to get rid of bump at the base of penis that looks + feels like a zit. hurts to masturbate, doesn't hurt to pee. advice?

Accepted Answer

See answer: Most common cause would be an infected hair follicle (aka folliculitis) caused by the bacteria staphylococcus aureus. Self-treatment includes avoiding irritation by clothing or shaving; moist heat compresses; proper hygiene with antiseptic cleanser; and topical antibiotic (mupirocin, neomycin, and bacitracin with polymyxin B). If no better in 2-4 days or worsens, an oral antibiotic may be needed

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Razor Burn: Keep the area as cool and dry as possible (but keep it moisturized with lotion/aftershave as well).  In the future, always shave with the direction of the hair or keep it a little longer.  This will avoid the situation altogether.  Hope this helps.

Normal condition: That seems to be a normal condition, the bumps are follicles. You should not worry about them. However, if they present inflammation, pus, or you have other symptoms you should see a dermatologist or urologist.

Question 10

is an occasional bump at the base of your penis normal?

Depends on cause: Difficult to answer without being able to examine or knowing what the cause of the 'bump' is. That said, a 'bump' in that location that comes and goes would suggest a possible inflammation of the pubic hair follicles.
