Did you see **Alien**? You know the part where the little baby alien pops out of that guy’s stomach? Well that’s what you’ve got, except in your case, the alien’s gestating in your penis. That’s an alien larva you can see “on the back of the head.” It’ll feed off the nice spongy tissue in your glans until it’s grown a little, and then it’ll tear its way out of your urethra. No, seriously. Expect lots of blood. Of course, I’m not curminsed, so I’m hardly an expert on penises. ---

Unless you have painful, bleeding, sores you probably don’t have anything to worry about. Acne on genitalia is common, unless its a huge breakout then its probably some allergic reaction. ---

If the SDMB were a doctor’s office there would be a co-pay due every time you posted. **See your doctor**. That’s what they’re there for. ---

You might want to keep the gun. You said that you have only had oral sex before. Well when was the last time you had oral sex? If it was more then a month ago then you probably do not have herpes. However, if it was within a month then it is **possible** that you may have herpes. There are two types, if I recall High School Sex-ed class correctly, oral and genital. If someone has oral herpes, not uncommon, then they could transfer it to you during oral sex and vice versa. But like Alphagene said, **go to a doctor!** And do it while the pimple is still there. They will pop the pimple and scrape some of the puss and in about a week they will tell you the results of the culture. -N ---

I never had sex and I have that same “zit” on the exact spot where you’re talking about, and it doesn’t hurt at all. IIRC, it’s a normal, non-functional part of the penis. ---

My last year in college I lived with a friend who lost his virginity one dark and stormy night. The next day he developed a pimple on his penis, and immediately jumped to the conclusion that he’d picked up some horrible venerial disease. He told those of us who lived with him, and we provided caring and understanding support. (“Cooties!” we yelled at every opportunity, and “Ya shoulda stuck to Rosie Hand and her five daughters!” This was our concept of caring and understanding support. I guess you had to be there.) Anyway, it turned out to just be a pimple–no harm done. Well, other than me asking him “so did THIS one give you a pimple?” every time he gets involved with somebody new. ---

I might regret this but freckles? Don’t you need sunshine and in a rather direct way to have freckles? ---

I’m curious. Why do you feel you can’t go to a doctor? ---
