H'lo, I'm 15 and I recently discovered a bump on the underside of my penis, around the middle. It started out as a small skin colored bump but just yesterday it became more visible and got a white head. It hurts when squeezed and is pretty uncomfortable if it rubs against something otherwise. I've tried to pop it, but the pain makes it hard, and it doesn't seem to spew out any pus or anything.
It's not causing any problems other than the discomfort, though, no erectile dysfunction or urinary trouble or anything. If it's not gone within a week or two I'll go to a doctor with it, but I'd really prefer not to.
I've never had sex, so there's no way it can be an STD, although I do get recurring mouth sores in the winter which could be herpes simplex or something which might somehow be causing it, heck if I know. :P

Hi Niro,
If you've never had any kind of sex then I would think it is unlikely to be herpes. I know when you spot anything around that area, we all start to get a bit excited but there is a possibility it is just a spot.
I would definitely keep an eye on it and definitely visit a doctor if it hasn't got any better within a week.
Let us know how you get on!

I should mention that I'm not a health professional and just sharing my experiences, you should always see a doctor if you are unsure.

Thanks for the reply! I'll make sure to go to the doctor with it if it doesn't get better. Hopefully it will, I'm not a fan of urologists at all. Just updating the post a bit here, the bump turned back to red from white and a small hole became visible in the middle of it... it also seems to have gotten slightly smaller and less sensitive. Pretty sure it's just a pimple or a cyst or something.
