A member asked:
Could a red bump on the penis be an infection or friction burn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be either: Need to see urologist to investigate this. Could be anything from a result of irritation to and std, to other abnormalities which need to be seen by a physician. Best to check it out, and know for sure.
