Question 1

i once had a zit on my penis but have never had anything else since it went away.. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

See doc for blood te: You need blood tests for sexually transmitted dieases. Stds can cause a lesion and then heal over. An atypical case of syphilis is possible. Please do not ignore.

Question 2

i have what looks like a zit on my penis shaft. i haven't had sex in about a year. its small and when i pop it its like a zit but doesn't go away?

Accepted Answer

Do not pop zits: Stop popping these benign spots. This will lead to scarring and potentially  permanent  changes in the skin. If after a few weeks the spot is not healed then you can consider seeing a skin specialist or your family physician. Please stop popping, pinching, poking at spots on your skin.

Question 3

i have littles zits in my penis is that normal? and some microscopical bumps in my penis head, ni rash or something else!

Accepted Answer

Fordyce spots or HSV: Fordyce spots are common and a result of visible sebaceous glands. These are benign lesions.  Genital herpes or other sexually transmitted diseases must be considered and this warrants a proper examination from your local dermatologist.

Question 4

there is a zit like thing on my penis. could it be a cyst or something more serious?

Accepted Answer

Could be a zit, or: Sign of an std, if you have been having unprotected sex. If you have not had sex (ever), then this is most likely a pimple. Hormones are raging at this age, which is why unprotected sex is never a good idea--too many stds to catch and spread! but if you are truly a virgin, then you need not worry. If you are having unprotected sex, then you should have this checked out if it persists or worsens.

Question 5

would it be unusual for tiny whitehead zits to appear on penis?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This sounds like milia, which are blocked hair follicles and can appear as small firm dome shaped white bumps.

Question 6

i have these spots on my penis over time they turn to zits, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: What does &quot;over time&quot; mean? Hours, days, weeks, or longer? How long has it been going on? Herpes always comes to mind for genital skin problems that go from red bump to blister to pimple, but only if it happens over a few days, or if in recurrent crops. Of course the chance of herpes depends on sexual lifestyle and risks. Best to see a doctor or clinic and stop guessing and worrying. Good luck.

Question 7

i have a pink and white, hard circle on my penis shaft (like a hard zit) which is about 2-3 mm long. is this something that i need to get checked?

Accepted Answer

Yes, see urologist: If this is a new lump, i would begin with your family physician'srecommemdations a urologist.

Question 8

i have what looks to be like a zit on the shaft of my penis.. i haven't had sex in 5-6 months. when i pop it hard white stuff comes out along withblood?

Accepted Answer

Pearly papule: This  is a benign sebaceous cyst that usually would go away on its own. Picking at it, popping it, doing things to it you know doctors are going to yell at you for will scar it and make it possibly a permanent problem. Leave it alone. Let it heal.

Question 9

there was a tiny bump on my penis. it was very hard to see. it was easy to pop and white came out like a zit. is it herpes?

Accepted Answer

Bump on penis: Herpes is  painful, with clusters of blisters. Blisters can be internal, and not seen. What you describe is not typical of herpes. But some nodules and bumps can be other sexually transmitted diseases. I.e. HPV, or small nodules from syphilis, and others. It is ALWAYS best to get tested, or you may not know you have something.  Men are frequently not symptomatic in any way.You can test anonymously
