I have a pimple on my penis - #29193
I am freaking out because I have a pimple on my penis, and it's got me all worried. Like, for the past week, I noticed this small bump, and at first, I thought it was just a ingrown hair or something, but now it's turning red and feels a bit tender. To be honest, I keep wondering if I should've gone to a doctor earlier instead of just trying to ignore it. I mean, what if it’s something serious? I'm not experiencing any other symptoms like pain while peeing or weird discharge, but still, the whole situation has me on edge. I have read online about a bunch of stuff — could it be a genital wart or even a folliculitis? I have a pimple on my penis and I've never had anything like this before, and believe me, I'm trying not to panic. I heard that some STIs could start out like this? I don't recall having unprotected sex recently or anything like that, but I'm freakin' out about what to do next. Should I just sit tight and see if it goes away or rush to get it checked out? Advice would be really appreciated, thanks!
