I have been sexually active for a couple of years now. I have never used any kind of protection, because I was always very careful about who I was with, and was never with someone I even suspected of having something. The last time I had a sexual incounter was about three weeks ago, and while masturbating this morning I found a dry spot on my penis. It is on the part of my penis that is a different color from being circumcised (I have heard it reffered to as the neck before I believe). I remember that spot though because when I was younger, before I had been sexually active at all (just self masturbation and kissing a couple of guys), I found what was like a black head that you get on your face on that spot. I popped it, the same type of thing that comes out of a black head came out, and it was fine since then. I am very concerned. I have just found this, and I am going to ask the two guys I have been active with if they have been tested. Anything at all will help me. I know this is not a medical website, and I assure you I WILL be getting tested ASAP. But I would like to know if anyone has any inclination as to what it might be.
Additional info, added Tuesday August 9 2011, 2:23 pm: I found this spot on August the 8th, and it was smaller than a dime. It is not the 9th and it has gotten longer. I have not had a chance to go to the health department yet, but have googled STD's and it does not look like any that I can find.. Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category? Maybe give some free advice about: STD Information? MummuM answered Tuesday August 9 2011, 10:56 pm: I really don't think you have anything to worry about. It sounds like you just had a black-head where you didn't want a black-head. You said you had popped it and it went away and it hasn't came back, correct? I think you're fine and can stop worrying. However, if you're THAT worried, you can always go to your Doctor or a Health Clinic to get checked out, just to be 100% sure. But in all honestly, it just sounds like a black-head to me.
