What is this? Genital wart/herpes/MC??

Posted , 3 users are following.

Does anyone have an idea what this small pink bump is? had it for almost two weeks, hasn't grown bigger, its the only one i have. Haven't had unprotected sex in awhile, got no other symptoms. It has a hair coming out of it, doesn't hurt or bleed or puss. It's not rough to touch like I would expect a wart to be, also located in a concentrated area of fordyce spots. I was shaving in this location a bit before this popped up not sure if that will explain anything. imageimage

    So yes, the hair and the shaving are the likely best sources of explanation, and / or you may have damaged a Fordyce Spot.

    I use undiluted liquid (not cream or lotion versions) antiseptic on these - apply 3 or 4 times a day, should start to return to what it was before within 4 or 5 days. Sometimes they just remain like this no matter what you try ....

      spoke to you about dots on my penis that i thought were warts/herpes/MC. You said that it could be infected fordyce spots or festered hair and told me to use undiluted antiseptic 3/4 times a day. i have been doing that and I have noticed two red spots pop up, they have no feel to them at the moment. they are just small red dots with no itchiness or other symptoms. I have attached pictures, please tell me what you think

      also, not long after putting the antiseptic liquid, i started experiencing a thick white substance on my foreskin and now the foreskin seems to be dry and red and cracking. Is this a side effect of the antiseptic cream or some sort of yeast infection? i have attached a photo. image
