One day I started masturbating and I felt a sharp pain. When I looked down my penis shaft had what looked like a tiny red hole near the head of my penis. It hurts to masturbate, and it looks like dry skin is forming around it. What could that be?
Are you sexually active? Could you call it an "ulcer?"
Your description could indicate herpes.
Best bet, get it checked, while it is still there. If it is herpes, it goes dormant. You'd still have it though.
Keep us posted.
I'm 13, and I never had sex...so it isn't herpes. It happened when I was masturbating I believe..it's just...a very very tiny red hole right below my penis head. It's painful when I masturbate, but when I don't touch it, it doesn't hurt. Thanks for responding by the way.
Hi,
OK, good to know. It could just be caused by friction, from the way you were masturbating.
Keep it clean and dry, and give it some time to heal.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for your help.
