A member asked:
My boyfriend found a red bump on his shaft, could it be a pimple or something worse?

Could be worse: It could be something as trivial as an inflamed hair follicle or it could be as bad as a genital wart or early skin cancer. He should seek medical evaluation if it persists more than a week.
