I am circumcised, usually the area where
the foreskin would attach is rugose. I
just noticed last night that there was a
small hard area on the topleft side that
when I squeezed it, white discharge came
out. It reminded me of a pimple almost, it
just wasn't expanded above the surface. I
applied betadine to the area. I looked up
genital warts and herpes and it doesn't
look like any of the pictures there. I
don't seem to have any other symptoms.
Though as a kid, I would get canker sores
from time to time (and my mom had mono
before I was born). I had mono a few
months before, anyway, lately I am really
stressed with final exams and work (I work
alot). I have a girlfriend, and I am
concerned, that's why I am asking. She
never had sex (of any kind) with anyone
before me. We've always used a condom in
sexual situations, except for oral and
masturbation. What are the possible
causes, STDs or otherwise, advice?
Thanks.
It is very hard to answer your question
without seeing that “small hard area on
the top-left side that reminds you of a
pimple”. It sounds like a kind of
infection but all infections on the penis
are not sexually transmitted. You may want
to visit your primary health provider and
a dermatovenerologist, if necessary.
