Penis Odor/ Small bump with red dot?

Question

Please advise on a very strong scent coming from my husband's penis. He also had, as it has been one month, a mosquito bite size bump. There is only one bump on the side of the shaft. He has been using an antibacterial ointment and it has since flattened out and a bit flaky. He is extremely cautious about cleaning and he is not circumcised. What is this?

Answer 1

the presence of an odor would indicate a bacterial infection. Is he having any other symptoms such as pain with uination? Or even just pain with the one spot?
My best advice would be to go ahead and have it examined by a Dr.. but in the meantime, here is a great website that should help you figure things out a bit .- dd

If you all are in a tropical area, please go see your Dr. right away. If it is what I think it is, you really need to go asap.

Answer 2

Groan. Some one-track minds see circumcision as a cure for everything - it isn't. He should be examined by a doctor, as it appears that he has an infection, probably bacterial from the smell. You treat bacterial infections with antibiotics, not by chopping a body part off! He should try to get an immediate appointment before this gets any worse.

It would be prudent to use a condom until he can get this treated so the two of you don't pass the infection back and forth, and the doctor may want to treat you anyway just in case, as these things can be very hard to heal unless both parties get rid of every last bit of the infection.

Don't delay. Good luck!

Answer 3

Get him to go to a doctor right a way! He will have to be tested for stds. This doesn't sound like something that will clear up by its self or with any otc meds.

If a cause of infection is not indicated, he must get to a dermatologist IMMIDIATELY for a biopsy. Don't wait around while a GP says "I don't know what that is, let's try this cream".

The skin of the penis, like any other part of the body, is a possible target of cancer, and like most skin cancers it can be shaved off if caught early. Early treatment can avoid severe tissue loss.

BTW circumcision does not make a penis "cancer proof".

Has your husband ever used tobbaco? Tobbaco users must wash their hands with soap and water before going to the bathroom or other wise handling their penises. Smoking is a major cause of cancer of the penis.

Answer 4

He problably has a problem with smegma. The best solution is circumcision.



Now some info on the procedure, keep reading...



CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner, healthier and several prestigious research institutions have proved that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV, syphilis or herpes.

Uncircumcised penises are difficult to keep clean, and more prone to infections and penile cancer, studies have shown.
A circumcised penis is naturally clean and virtually free from urinary infections. You will not have to worry again with careful washing of your penis.

About STD's:

As I said, several studies carried out by prestigious research bodies have proved that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. It has been confirmed that circumcised men are up to 70% less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://www.torontodailynews.com/index.php/HealthNews/2006121404Circumcision

As for women, studies also show that circumcision also protects female partners from AIDS-HIV and other STD's. Browse this article: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2006/02_08_06.html

About sensitivity of a circumcised penis:

NO medical or physiological study has ever shown that circumcision reduces sensitivity, opposed to common belief. It is completely FALSE that circumcision reduces penis sensitivity. The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) confirms this on their web site; have a look at: http://www.aap.org/pubed/zzzjzmemh4c.htm

Circumcision is an easy and nowadays *painless* procedure, which has many benefits, and virtually no risks.
Circumcision is NOT an amputation. Circumcision is NOT comparable at all to female circumcision, which is something completely different.

Circumcision rates are INCREASING nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African, Asian and Latin American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.

Finally, this site has a lot of useful and *unbiased* information. Make sure you have a good look: http://www.circinfo.net

Answer 5

Kinda gross, but stats show that males without circumcisions tend not to wash their genitalia as best as they can. If you guys do stuff alot lol...or he wacks off alot or does anything sexual in nature, it may be excess semen or the product of you guys, or whoever he does stuff with. As for the bump, that could be an STD, but could also be irritation too...Hard not to jump to conclusions given what has been said, but in your's and his health and safety, i'd recommend seing a doctor
