Pimple like bump in pubic area (Male)

could someone explain to me exactly what a "lymph node" is. I seem to have something that you guys are describing as well.

i have the same dam thing, but ivehadit for over a year, and it gets bigger when my waist getshot and swaety...


this sucks, and it hurts my whole rightleg

ive been with my gf since last december and have had unprotected sex since then. never in my life have i had unprotected sex until her and same thing for her. we have both been tested though in the past and all good.
then out of no where last weekend i have the red pimple like whatever the f*** it is on my dick right close to the beginning of it like other buddy said. i to just shaved about a week ago or more. ive never had this happen b4 ever and its freaking me the f^398k out.


Wat the f2374k is this?????? its coming up on a week now and its still there
errrrrrr

im also 22 as well

I too have this, been there for about a week. It has a white head, so I guess it is a pimple or one of these ingrown hair things?

yeh loads of my mates get this problem we r all 15 i havent had any sexual intercourse and never done anything with a boy i usully get it after shaving and its usually that the hair has been pulled out which performs a lil microscopic hole which then needs to heal so it dont let bad stuff in (im just guessing from what i no in my hair and beauty lessons about the skin layers and stuff) i may not of got it right but im sure its nothing dangerous

YEA I HAD THE SAME THING ON MY PENIUS A SMALL BUMP THAT HAD BEEN THERE BUT RECENTLY IT HAS LOOKED LIKE A PIMPLE SO I POPPED IT BUT NOW THERE IS JUST A RED BUMP SO WHO KNOWS WHAT IT IS BUT I'LL PRAY FOR ALL OF US LOL NO SERIOUSLY.....

i had something like this, last nov, i had all these zit like things that hurt like hell, all over my dick, (a bout a day after i had sex) i didnt know wtf it was, but it hurt. i popped them and got this white stuff, (like a zit) then it would bleed and scab, took about a week for them to go away. but i have had (for about the last 2 months) bumps i been shavin down there for about 5 and some pop like a zit and some dont. i have no idea what they are, but it takes like 2 weeks for them to go away completly. and i just want them to go away.

I have the same thing! I can deal with a swollen lymph node.

ok, i believe i have the same thing that you all are talking about. from my point of view it's about an inch up/right from the base of my penis. i've done some looking on the internet trying to figure it out and this is what i found. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/9000.htm

that's the link that shows where lymph nodes are located near your groin area and it says,

"Lymph nodes play an important part in the body's defense against infection. Swelling might occur even if the infection is trivial or not apparent. Swelling of lymph nodes generally results from localized or systemic infection, abscess formation, or malignancy. Common areas where the lymph nodes can be felt include the groin area, armpit, the neck, under the jaw and chin, behind the ears, and below the occiput (prominence on the back of the head). As a rule, when swelling appears suddenly and is painful, it is usually caused by injury or an infection. Enlargement that comes on gradually and painlessly may result from malignancy or tumor. "

from the looks of it, no worries guys!

What most of you are most likely experiencing is the same thing that happened to me... If you shave your pubic hair, sometimes the skin gets irritated and an "ingrown hair" type thing happens. And sometimes bacteria gets in there while you are shaving, thus giving it a bump and irritating the area. It is most commonly called folliculitis. If you want the bumps to go away put a warm compress on them, such as a rag with warm water, that will help them deflate. Keep the area dry and clean it frequently and they will go away after a while. avoid shaving. if you want more info just google folliculitis.
