first of all, im well aware there is a topic quite similar to this but i thought i should make a new thread considering my circumstances are a little different to that thread, and its better to be safe than sorry.About 2 days ago i noticed a tiny bump on my penis. towards the base of it. it was red and i thought it was just a pimple (i still do) so i just left it alone. today its gotten a bit whiter towards the middle, so im about 90% positive its just a pimple. i read an article i found on google a few minutes ago and it just scared me a bit. the fact of it is...- im a virgin, no person apart from me has EVER touched my penis.- ive never worn anybody elses underwear right over my bare body- ive sat on a public toilet once in my life.. but that was about 6 years ago.-i frequently got boils/pimples between my bum cheeks for years.-i frequently got boils/pimples in the pubic hair above my penisbut throughout this my penis has remained completely fine.so im FAIRLY positive this is just a pimple. but my questions are..-are there any ways i could catch some sort of disease that i havent thought of yet?-is having a pimple on your penis dangerous? could it cause any health risks?-would this affect my penis in any way? positively or negatively?-has anybody had a pimple on their penis before?sorry if i seem a bit jittery but im just really paranoid after reading that article. any help would be greatly appreciated. it only hurts a little bit, about as much as a regular pimple does.thanks for your time =)

Pimple on my penis

I'd say it's nearly impossible you have anything other than a 'pimple'/infected hair follicle. I've had a few too, I generally either leave them alone and they go away, or when they get white I just pop them like a normal one (I'll warn you that it hurts quite a bit, though) and then it just heals and is fine.

It does sound like an ordinary pimple, and they are no more dangerous than a pimple anywhere else.

Nothing to worry about keep it clean and don't let it get infected.

The irony is that it's an infection of a hair follicle :grin:
You'll be fine! What I'd do during this situation is get a little cotton ball, get some rubbing alcohol and rub a little on the area. You should be fine, just keep it clean. =]
