Does A Pimple On The Head Of The Penis Require Medical Attention?
I noticed a pimple on the end of my penis next to the urethra opening this morning. I popped it and it began to bleed profusely. Eventually the bleeding stopped and all was well. Then about an hour ago I must have rubbed the scab off and once again it began bleeding profusely. There is no bleeding at this moment and as far as I know I have not injured myself. There is no pain or any other symptoms. Really do not want to go to the ER but it is Friday afternoon and no doctor in the office. Thank you so much.
