A member asked:
Can you get a pimple on the shaft of your penis? have not had sex by the way so it is not an std.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: While not the typical area where pimples happen - they can occur in the genital region due to an over activity of the sebaceous glands or ingrown hair. Any of the OTC spot treatments for acne would take it away pretty quickly (don't pop it). Hope that helps!
