What Causes Red Raised Pimple Near Frenulum?
I have one single pin head sized red raised pimple like spot very near the frenulum. It didnt hurt till I started squeezing it. I often masturbate and am wondering if thats a possible cause. I have had sex once 4-5 weeks ago and used protection. No breaks.

There are a few causes of such lesions.It may occur due to a viral infection called herpes genitals which can also be transmitted after protected intercoarse.It could have also occurred due to a bacterial infection called furunculosis. You may need to apply a topical antibacterial cream like mupirocin.You need to consult a dermatologist soon and avoid intercoarse in the interim.
