Question: about little lump

evertonguy - Fri Feb 09, 2007 12:01 pm

Ive noticed that the blister/lump things is kinda fleshy and you can kinda squeeze it although its hard inside of it. I has red dots on it if you look closely. its not sore or Itchy and I just cant understand what it is. It be nice to know if somebody else had anything like this. I was going to try squeeze it but thought secondly about it. I just awoke one day last week and it was there and I havent had sex since september. So any help would be appreciated. And maybe how to get rid of it or will it go if I keep putting anti baterial cream on it?

Hello, This could be Dermatitis. Dermatitis is referred to different types of skin rashes that are caused by infections, allergies, and irritants. The severity of the rash range from mild to severe according to the cause. There might be Itching on many cases. Contact Dermatitis occurs due to skin contact with a substance that causes an allergic reaction (allergic contact Dermatitis) or with an irritant substances (irritant contact Dermatitis). There are many causes for contact Dermatitis some involve irritants such as soaps, certain creams and some may be due to allergy. Avoiding the causing substance is the mainstay of prevention in addition to medications prescribed by your doctor. Other causes include: Inflammation of the Hair follicles and sebaceous (sweat) glands. Hair follicles and sebaceous (sweat) glands are normally found on the penile shaft, particularly on the ventral surface (underside). They may be infected; trichomycosis in the case of sweat glands and folliculitis in the case of hair follicles. -Herpes simplex, (less likely) which is one of the sexually transmitted disease. Genital herpes is a very common disease caused by Herpes virus type2. It spread by direct contact. It results in small, very painful blisters (fluid is inside the lesion). You better avoid squeezing them and go for direct medical consultation. Best regards.
