Not to worry: Need to see doctor to diagnose why you have this lesion on your penis. May be benign condition or could be an STD (sex transmitted disease). Regardless it would not affect your ability to have an erection. But, anxiety and worry about it can. So please see your doctor for evaluation. Hope this was helpful. Best of luck. Dr R

See a physician: It's more likely that concern and worry over the boil on your penis is interfering with your ability to get an erection, rather than the boil itself. Have a physician evaluate the lesion if you are concerned.

Foil The Boil Now!!: Hey, man, you're scaring me too. Get away from the computer and get that looked-at. I suspect that the erection problem would go away if the penis problem were solved (i.e. you're freaked out) and if not, that's a seperate problem. A 'boil' on the penis should be taken seriously and tended to. your doctor's office or an Urgent Care would be fine.
