hi, im 16 years old and around a week ago i got this red bug bite looking bump on my penis shaft. I am a virgin and have never been sexually active. The bump is fairly sized and it had a white/brown tip on it. Should i be worried? Should i put something on it?

You "bump" might actually be a cist, which is caused by poor hygiene or poor diet. In some cases it could be caused by an acne problem in an area other than your face. Keep the area very clean, and if the "bump" worsens, either pop it, or see a doctor. If you do decide to pop it, which may be painful but will most likely be effective, be sure to clean your penis thoroughly along with your hands, and apply triple antibiotic ointment to it. If the "bump" continues to worsen, I insist you see you doctor.
