You mention chest pain but no details about it. You provide a diagnosis for the growth of the penis. More information is needed. Do you have staph, what is going on with the chest? I suggest seeing a doctor in person. Sometimes chest pain is serious and requires an emergency room (ER) visit, note I am not saying you need to go to the ER I don't have enough information to help you.

They are not related. Re chest pain see your MD re penis a Urologist. PL do not guess or treat yourself it is dangerous. Once the cause of the problems are found you will be treated and be OK. good luck
