Hi... I'm only 16 and have never had sex of any type. Recently I discovered a pimple-like thing on my penis. I am circumcised and it is in between the head of the penis and actual body of the penis. It is raised slightly and if squeezed puss comes out... just like a pimple. It is slightly painful... like a pimple. To be honest, I do masturbate (with lube) quite often and I was wondering if this could have contributed to it. If you are a doctor or some type of specialist, I can e-mail you a picture of the pimple-like thing... just ask and give me your e-mail. Thank you.

OK....This small thing could be a number of things. Firstly, make sure that the lubricant you are using does not have a lot of additives or irritants. This could cause a type of rash that weeps and leaks out what appears to be pus. Use a lubricant that is water-based such as a KY brand lubricant. Next, (and I know this sounds elementary) make sure that you keep it clean. If you sweat a lot you could cause a similar irritating rash and it could secrete pus. As well, every man's penis whether circumcised or not, secretes a waxy white substance known as smegma. Often times, this smegma finds a little pore in the skin of the penis usually in the crease around the glans (or head) and makes a little house. You can often-times squeeze out this smegma and it looks like pus, but is not. Lastly, know that you can contract STDs without any type of sexual contact. This can happen (with very small probability) by not washing your hands appropriately and with contact in public restrooms. This spot should clear up. If you think it is truly an infected spot, see your healthcare provider or public health department nurse. It would be beneficial to wash with soap and water, dry, and apply some antibiotic ointment such as neosporin. I hope all turns out well.

well since your not having sex it's not an STD but you are masturbating and using lubricant in a moist area and your hands carry alot of germs if I had to make a guess at it I would say Staph infection and I would advise you not to mess with it and go to a doctor because you need to get a culture done and possibly get on antibiotics. If it is mercer staph it can lead to a high fever and can get into your lungs and cause serious problems so don't touch it just go see a physicain as soon as you can.And I don't want to see a picure nor does anyone else that is for you and a physician but I would take it seriously get it checked.

Once I had something similar on my penis and it just went off so I guess it could be also your case. Nevertheless I'm not a doctor and I can't assure you 100% One thing you shouldn't worry about is STDs and STIs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Infections) however if u could consult a doctor i guess you'll be definately on the safe side and relieved immediately! better than shy and worried!

it most likely is a pimple...try not to masturbate till its gone the oils in your hands or chems in the lube may prolong it ......if its not gone in a couple of weeks go see a doc to be sure its not a cyst. dont worry you didnt break it.

im sorry bro, thats gotta hurt, but i bet its an ingrown hair, it might aslo be a reaction to heat and sweat, is it hot where you live? if it doesnt get smaller/less swollen in a week, i would definatly see a doctor, it maybe embarassing but you dont want more complications. im 15 so i can understand what your talkin about.

When your masturbate you tear your skin, even with lube. You could have an infected pore.

It looks like skin infection.If you never had intercourse donot think of STDs.Take an antibiotic with your GPs help.
