What Are The Symptoms Of Std?
Hello, about a year ago I saw a little red mark on my penile shaft. I pinched that spot for a good week leaving what looked like an abscess. I was afraid it was an std until I went to our clinic and was clean. I have an appointment set to have this lesion removed, but I m worried its something worse. I ve never felt any pain really where I pinched but the lesion won t go away. Is this a mere abscess caused by my pinching? Thank you for your time!
