Is A Tiny Scab Below The Head Of Penis A Cause For Concern?

default
Posted on Wed, 20 Apr 2016
Question: First off, I'm a male, and I masterbate a lot. The other night I felt a tiny scab below the head of my penis. After looking at it in the mirror, it looked like a tiny pinsize hairline scrape. I scratch he'd it off, and then a small sharpie pen sized red spit appears. It's reddish, but smooth, and there is no pain or itching. Also no white center ot discharge. It is in only that one spot. Its been a couple months since i last had sex. Does this sound like it could just be skin irritation, or something a lot more serious?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you have reported. I have reviewed this information fully and this is suggestive of nothing more than an irritation. It is unlikely that this represents any possible infection. Monitor only for now and report any changes for further evaluation and management.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

Today it has turned into a whitesh spec, like a tiny scab covering an abrasion, but is still the same tiny pen sized dot and doesn't hurt. Do you still think it means it's just an irritation? Once again, it is tiny, painless, and only in that spot.
