A member asked:
Woke up with a red swollen pimple like lump on base of penis, tried to pop it and now its purple and bigger. pimple or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Penile Lesion: Never try to 'pop' a lesion on the genitals. You have a significant risk of pushing the infection deeper into the tissues and spreading the infection. You will need to have this seen by a health provider. It cannot be managed without being seen directly.
