Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
So today I noticed 1 red/pink dot on the shaft of my penis. It doesn t hurt unless poked. I ve never had sex. It popped up very quickly I only noticed it a couple of hours ago. It looked like there was white puss coming out of it so I squeezed it out what could this be? Should I be worried?
It could be a small abscess or folliculitis. As a first line management you can apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin for symptomatic relief. If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
