Weird Scab thing on my Penis?!
Question:
Weird Scab thing on my Penis?
It began as a red bump on the shaft of my penis, it was hard, painful to the touch, and red. I have never had sex before, so its not an STD. About 3 days after having this red bump, I woke up to having a weird scab thing on my Penis where the bump was the day before. It is smaller then the bump, and is sort of flattened at the top, and at the top there is a black slightly pusey scab. I am 16. Personally, I think its an ingrown hair, but I need more opinions please. What should I do?
Answers:
Hmm, it could be a pimple or an ingrown hair, though neither usually occur on the shaft of the penis (unless it's really close to the base). It could be an insect bite, which would suck but is nothing to be really worried about. And it's possible that you rubbed an area raw during masturbation or something and it formed a scab over itself to help heal.
Regardless, it shouldn't be a big deal. It'll heal and go away on its own, though it might be annoying for a while. If you're concerned then it might be worth to see a doctor.
