Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums and I'm not even sure I'm in the right place to ask this, but I have a somewhat embarrassing health-related question about a strange red "bump" that has recently appeared on my penis.
I'm seventeen years old, and after coming home from school today I noticed a stiff, sore feeling around the base of my penis when I took it out of my pants to urinate. I didn't think much of the feeling at the time, but after inspecting the region later, I found that about an inch above the penis's base was some sort of pink, pea-sized bump raised several millimeters above the surface of the skin, almost as though some sort of acne blemish had made its way into my foreskin.
I'm a healthy, young boy (though I'm sure you've already figured that out) and, for what it's worth, have never been sexually active in any way. I'm confident that this "thing" is nothing worth worrying about, but I certainly don't want to find myself waking up in the morning with a rotten willie lying next to me.
Believe me, I did quite a bit of research on the subject before turning to this forum, but I was never able to find any convincing possibilities as to what this thing could be. Can anyone offer me any insight?
Could this be some bruise caused by some extreme masturbation session or simply a bizarrely-placed acne pimple?
Thanks!
