painless red bump on head of penis. has been there since april. started as a red spot that u couldn't feel by touch but now is large and noticeable ?

Question 4

i had a painless red bump on the shaft of my penis and i am worried on whether this could be a syphilis chancre. had unprotected oral about a month ago. how does a typical chancre look like? and if the bump is painless, does it always mean syphilis?

Accepted Answer

Syphilis chancre: Chancres are open sores, not skin bumps. However, if it's been under a week or so, maybe the bump will begin to ulcerate, becoming a chancre. With unprotected oral exposure a month ago, the timing is right for syphilis:  chancres generally begin 2-4 weeks after exposure. Does a painless bump "always mean syphilis"? No, usually not. However, you definitely should be examined and tested ASAP.

Question 5

yes i have a painless red bump on where my left tonsil used to be got them removed 20 years ago.sore doesn't hurt but can feel it when i swallow.

See an ENT Doc: A painless lump (bump) in the tonsillar fossa (space where the tonsil was 20 years ago) may be of no consequence but have either an ENT physician or an oral surgeon examine this area to be absolutely sure it is of no significance.

Question 8

painless red bump. on vagina lip. got smaller after a few days. white tip puss came out of it. kinda looks like it's healing but also like a scab.

Accepted Answer

Sore: On Labia.  Sounds like it was a little cyst that I have patients come in frequently for.  Sounds like it spontaneously rupture and is healing.  Sometimes these recur and have to be drained and treated with antibiotics.  If it gets worse see your doctor.

Question 9

i have a pea-sized painless red bump in my throat on the right side. tonsillectomy at age 10, 18 now. could my tonsil be growing back?

Accepted Answer

Not growing back: Tonsil tissue is composed of lymph tissue, similar to a lymph node.  The back of the throat, the tongue, and the tonsils all contain lymph tissue.  When a tonsillectomy is performed the tonsils are separated from muscle.  The bump you are identifying is likely a little bit of leftover tonsil tissue.  This won't cause you any trouble.

Question 10

non itchy painless red bumps. what could these be?

Accepted Answer

Rash: The accurate diagnosis of a rash requires a physical exam. It is recommended that your see a primary care provider for a physical examination.
