Can A Raised Bump On Penis Head Be A STI?
hello dr, My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years and have had unprotected sex before. He was my first sexual partner but he had had one other partner before me. Lat night I noticed something odd on the head of his penis that looks like a pimple that you would get on your face. Although when I looked this up online i was discouraged and started to question whether or not this was an STI. He attempted to pop it and some clear liquid came out. It s not blistered or anything it just looks like a raised bump that s a little red. Please help. Should he see a doctor?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your boyfriend's problem is most likely due to fordyce spots. If you send a picture then it will be more helpful. Fordyce spots are benign and harmless. Taking more garlic and foods rich in anti oxidants will be helpful. Local tretinoin application also will be helpful.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
