A member asked:

I have recently found a bump on the back base of my penis. i am almost certain it is an ingrown hair, but i want to make sure that it isnt an sti. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get checked : Men can have a STI without any obvious symptoms. The bump could be an incidental event, unrelated to any STI. Periodic screening if you are sexually active is a reasonable thing to do. Your doc can order a specific STD urine test that looks for some and do a blood test to screen for others.(As well as look at the bump)
