Painless small bump on penis . HSV1?

Resolved Question:

Hi Doctor,

I have just noticed a single small bump on my penis (Just below the penis head). It's completley painless, it's not sore or itchy at all. I wouldn't have known it was there if I didn't see it. I had a complete panel of std tests completed a few months ago and was free from everything (Apart from HSV1 coldsores) so I don't really know what this is? My partner also had a std test at the time and everything was negative.

I have attached a picture for your review. Is this anything to worry about?

Thanks,

John.

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
I can understand your concern.

It seems to be a small scar probably secondary to a lesion you had there. Or it could be a small epidermal cyst. It doesn't seem like anything to worry about.

Please let me know if you have any queries.
Take care


Patient replied :

Hi doctor,
So it doesn't look like an std of any kind? When you speak of a lesion, would this be caused by friction or somthing like that?
Should I just let it go away on it's own?
Thanks,
John.

Hello

Thanks for your reply.

It doesn't seem to be a std. It seems to be a scar or as i mentioned a cyst which could be without a cause.

I would suggest you observe it and follow up with your dermatologist in case it increases in size.

Please let me know if you have any queries
