Question 1

red kinda hard bump on my penis?

Accepted Answer

Need more info...: Please collect the feature, degree, and detailed sequence of event of its color, size, symptoms, etc and bring them to see urologist who can figure out what it&#x27;s for you. If it&#x27;s lifelong, discolored, not hurting, it can be a benign mole; if quite a long while, but become red and hurting, it may be an infected sebaceous cyst; or ... Nonetheless, direct inspection and palpation are needed for dx..

Penis bumps: Penis bumps can be many things. Some STDs, some not. Only general advice can be given without a photo or physical exam. Top 2 photos are non-STDs: Fordyce spots (sebum which can be extricated by M.D. or left alone), Infected hair follicle (plucked and kept clean). Bottom 2 photos are STDs (HPV and Molluscum) to be evaluated by your MD so s/he can rule out other STDs and council you for prevention.

Question 4

i have a red bump on the shaft of my penis and its hard, not painful unless pinched and i managed to remove some puss. is this genital herpes?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: See your doctor and get a correct diagnosis.  You may need treatment and if it is an std you will need to alert your partner.

Question 5

fordyce spot on my penis that seems to have gotten infected after not taking care of myself enough, i was able to safely pop it and apply triple antibiotic cream since popping it everyday, now it has flattened but is still a red bump hard white middl?

Accepted Answer

Molluscum?: Fordyce spots are not likely to get infected. If it happens, it has nothing to do with "not taking care of myself". Maybe just a pimple. Maybe molluscum contagiosum, usually sexually transmitted. See a doctor soon.

Question 6

i have a red bump/lump hard and hurting when touched on my lower abdomen below belly buttom above penis by 3 inches, could this be genital herpes?

Accepted Answer

Lump in groin: Not likely to be herpes. Based on location it's more likely to be an infected hair follicle or an infected sebaceous cyst.  If it doesn't drain with warm compress you should see a physician to lance it and treat you with antibiotics. Herpes usually appears as a cluster of small  painful lesions on the genitalia.  These vesicles usually drain and form a  consolidated  lesion with crust on top.

Question 7

big red bump on penis. what are possible causes?

Accepted Answer

Infection to cancer: No way to tell without exam. See your local urologist.

Question 8

i have a medium sized red bump on penis and it hurts to touch. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests.  If the bump is on the body of the penis, it could be infection of a hair follicle. It would be prudent to see a doctor. 
Wish you good health!

Question 9

i'm nervous i have herpes, or multiple stds. symptoms: pain in head of penis, leg tingling, small red bump on penis.

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: The only way to know for sure is to be examined and tested for STDs. You should do this as soon as possible and refrain from intercourse until you know for sure and any infections have been treated. Good luck.

Question 10

is this a uti going to the toilet alot more than normal i woke up 2 hours after sleeping bursting for the toilet i also woke up very hot clammy/sweaty and have a red bump on penis or could this be sepsis?

Accepted Answer

: This could be a urinary tract infection or maybe an STD, assuming you are sexually active. And yes, "hot clammy/sweaty" could be symptoms of sepsis. See a doctor ASAP. Good luck.
