Since last month, there has been a painless pimple-like bump on the penis. What might it be? A pharmacy warned me that it was hepres. and just beneath the zit. I simply scratched my skin while sliding it. The area that has been scratched has new skin beneath it. In barely five minutes, it faded.
A single painless pimple-like bump on the penis that heals quickly is less likely to be Genital herpes (which usually causes painful blisters) and may be something harmless like a blocked gland, follicle, or mild irritation, especially since it faded quickly after minor injury. If it persists, increases, or new lesions appear, consult a doctor to rule out other conditions like warts or infection.
