I am a 22 year old male, I am sexually active and have had about 5 partners over the last 4-5 years. Although I did not use protection on certain occasions, I'm sure that the women I slept with were clean. For almost the past year now I have had a small (1mm approx), raised bump on the left side of my genitalia where my penis meets my scrotum. It is pinkish/white in color. I have tried popping it to no avail. This is the only bump that I have like this and was wondering what it is/could be, and how to get rid of it...

Thanks for the help!

How are you so sure that they were "clean"? You can't tell that sort of thing just by looks. I suggest you go to a doctor ASAP and have a full checkup for STDs so they can determine what may be the cause of this bump. Sorry but we just can't diagnose that over the internet.

Sorry but we just can't diagnose that over the internet.

What do you mean you can't just diagnose that over the internet, I've read numerous different posts where people are being diagnosed improperly to the point where they are convinced they're okay and go have sex with their respective girlfriends, only to find out that they are indeed infected with something .

And to answer your question, I knew that they were clean because they TOLD me and had been checked prior. Unless my former girlfriends were lying to me then I should be okay.

If you want a diagnosis, you should make an appointment with your doctor. They will take blood if necessary and have it analyzed.

Jerry, people lie.

Maybe these girls were disease-free, maybe not.

Nicosmom is absolutely correct.

To suggest that, in the heat of the moment somebody is going to suddenly say, "oops, forgot to tell you about the STD's" is about as likely as being in the heat of the moment, and not taking two seconds to put a damn condom on.

You can't give me an idea of what it could be, like EVERY other post on this website?

For the exact reason you listed yourself, we aren't going to guess a diagnosis.

Give us a link. Who was improperly diagnosed?

If you're too foolish to get tested for STDs and would rather take a stranger's opinion as to whether you are clean or not, then you have larger issues at hand.

? Don't know what your talking about... but OK...

Good to see you guys are here to help people and answer their QUESTIONS, rather than criticize for mistakes made in the past... thanks for the help NOT

you can't give me an idea of what it could be, like EVERY other post on this website?

You know what buddy, make a list of all the posts where people diagnose.

Give up your attitude. Go see the doctor. Your at high risk. You need blood work. Hiv, Hep b, and other std's. Get a full physical.

We can not do any of that over the internet.

Goodbye.

? Don't know what your talking about...but ok....

They're referring to you already stating that members here have improperly diagnosed people, giving them false hope. That's what leads to lawsuits, which is why we're certainly not going to tell you that you're okay.

No one criticized you, although you'd be doing the world a MAJOR favor by simply putting on a condom.

This is why people are walking around with AIDS, Herpes, and so on because they THOUGHT their partners were clean.

If your going have sex have safe sex and educate yourself about sex.

All it takes is one time and from one person to catch something. Also, you can have an unplanned pregnancy so unless your ready to be a father use a glove because it is a law (well not exactly but it is common sense).

Also, once you start having sex you should get yourself testing regularly for STD's.

How old are you because only an immature person thinks the way you do. Think with your head and not the thing swinging between your legs.

Just wanted an IDEA, like everyone ELSE gets around here, I'm not asking for a full diagnosis just an IDEA! JESUS you people are really accommodating...

Wow, I REALLY did not need to be insulted, but thanks, I really appreciate it. I've seen much worse on this message board in regards to not practicing safe sex, MUCH WORSE. But those people don't get scolded the way I just did. Must have caught you all on a bad day apparently

Try Google, if you want an idea.

You are the one looking at the bump, it will be easier for you to look around online for yourself.

I wanted an IDEA from educated professionals NOT unreliable Google, but apparently none of you are either PROFESSIONAL or EDUCATED.

just wanted an IDEA, like everyone ELSE gets around here, im not asking for a full diagnosis just an IDEA! JESUS you people are really accommodating....

You are such a . You know what. Unless we inspect it and take a look at it. How do you expect us to have an idea what it is. You know what you keep saying that everyone else gets ideas around here. You still have not shown that claim. Just go to your doctor. Very simple really. Get your blood work, and get it checked out. If you do not than it is up to you to continue guessing what it could be instead of actually getting it checked out.

Justy also makes a good point of Google it.

Just an idea, sorry We do not have an idea what it could be but your doctor or a doctor will.

Like I said before, I didn't come here to be criticized for the mistakes I made in the past.

...apparently none of you are either PROFESSIONAL or EDUCATED.

Said the man who can't wrap his dingy.

We can not give you an idea.

We can't even see the bump from here (and no we do not need a picture).

You are looking at the bump, you know your symptoms, you will get better information from WebMD or other sources, as we can not possible tell you what your bump is.

like i said before, I didn't come here to be criticized for the mistakes i made in the past.

Who the is saying that you got criticized for mistakes. I am not. Just that you should check it out by a doctor and see what it is. Also get the blood work you need to make sure you are clean.

Stop putting words in peoples mouths. Stop twisting things to make yourself out to be the victim here because you are not.

It is your reaction to this that started this whole mess. Maybe you should rethink through things go back and reread the start. People were just trying to be helpful and you got all

Jack on people.

wow, i REALLY did not need to be insulted, but thanks, I really appreciate it. I've seen much worse on this message board in regards to not practicing safe sex, MUCH WORSE. But those people don't get scolded the way I just did. Must have caught you all on a bad day apparently

Nobody insulted you but just gave you the truth to what you posted. It is called a reality check. You said you practice unsafe sex and you knew they were clean but the truth of the matter is you didn't.

For example, look at Magic Johnson. If you seen him walking the street would you have thought he had HIV?

All I asked for was an answer similar to these... a suggestion of what it could be and suggestions of what I could do. Did not need to be insulted or humiliated. As if this isn't already hard enough for me to deal with. But thanks.

None of these people showed any pictures or were seen by any of you and you still managed to give him an IDEA of what was wrong. So why is it different for me?

Wow, and I guess your some sort of rocket scientist. Get out of the bubble your living in.

You keep going back to some other post. We are dealing with your post right now. So what is going on with you and your choices to do the right thing and go to the doctor.

Because you are too foolish to read the following posts on the very questions you linked to. Every one of those posters was told that they NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR.

Mistake #1 - this is not a message board.

Mistake #2 - sarcasm and insults.

Mistake on the part of the girls you are having sex with - what's their problem? Are you the only man in town?

You keep going back to some other post. We are dealing with your post right now. So what is going on with you and your choices to do the right thing and go to the doctor.

That might be my fault. He made accusations of AMHD members improperly diagnosing other askers; I asked him to give me a link.

Which of course, proved everyone's point except his :)

Two threads are from 2005, one from 2007.

The one from 2009, was an inexperienced poster who wasn't following the rules of the site, speaking off the cuff about what could be the problem.

We aren't going to make up an answer to make you feel better, so that you don't realize the seriousness of the situation, you need a doctor's exam, plain and simple.

You should be thankful that we aren't just trying to tell you what you want to hear.

Because you are too foolish to read the following posts on the very questions you linked to. Each and every one of those posters was told that they NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR.

I guess he ignore that part but were the stupid ones. Go figure! ::shakes head::

You keep going back to some other post. We are dealing with your post right now. So what is going on with you and your choices to do the right thing and go to the doctor.

A). I don't chose NOT to go to the doctor's, I don't have HEALTH INSURANCE like a good amount of Citizens of this country.

B). I do not have a job to pay for those medical bills, seeing as I just graduated college.

C). We are dealing with my post right now, but so far not one person has even given me one hint of an idea at what I could have/what it appears to be/etc.

D). I did nothing to edit any posts, I'm new here and barely know how to work this site, let alone edit a post. Nice assumption though

just wanted an IDEA, like everyone ELSE gets around here, im not asking for a full diagnosis just an IDEA! JESUS you people are really accommodating....

Ok Jerry-- the fact is we are trying to help you. It could be herpes, genital warts, a blocked sebaceous gland, a cyst of some sort... numerous possibilities.

I advise you to go to your local Planned Parenthood clinic and they can do an STD screening there as well as give you plenty of free condoms.

So the anger is because you don't have insurance and can't afford the medical bills... wouldn't that have been more honest then telling us we have to diagnose you over the internet?

Try your local welfare department, find out about medical coverage for low income, possibly a Planned Parenthood or something similar will do an STD screen.

Okay, here's my diagnosis. You have a sexually transmitted disease. If you have sex with anyone and don't inform her you can be criminally charged.

A). I don't chose NOT to go to the doctor's, I don't have HEALTH INSURANCE like a good amount of Citizens of this country.

B). I do not have a job to pay for those medical bills, seeing as I just graduated college.

C). We are dealing with my post right now, but so far not one person has even given me one hint of an idea at what i could have/what it appears to be/etc.

D). I did nothing to edit any posts, I'm new here and barely know how to work this site, let alone edit a post. Nice assumption though

Go to your nearest emergency room at your local hospital to be seen and worry about the bill later. Or go to your nearest PlannedParenthood like NM suggested and in the meantime stop having sex.

A). I don't chose NOT to go to the doctor's, I don't have HEALTH INSURANCE like a good amount of Citizens of this country.
I have yet to see a doctor that demands you pay the bill immediately. You can make small payments over time. It is NOT going to cost that much, let alone ANYTHING if you go to Planned Parenthood.


B). I do not have a job to pay for those medical bills, seeing as I just graduated college.
You're smart enough to graduate, yet foolish enough to have unprotected sex a number of times with a number of different women. You can't pay for an exam, how do you think you'd support a child if you got someone pregnant?


C). We are dealing with my post right now, but so far not one person has even given me one hint of an idea at what I could have/what it appears to be/etc.
Actually, they have. You've had an attitude the entire time. I'm beginning to wonder how any woman actually wanted to have sex with you in the first place.
