Suggest Remedy For Pimples In Urethral Opening While Treating Interstitial Cystitis
Question: Hello,
I have interstitial cystitis resulting in urethritis fairly often but not perpetual.
I spread my urethral opening to see why it was so irritated and noticed that there was a small bump on the inside. It does not appear warty but more pimple like. The coloration is darker than the surrounding tissue however so I am concerned. I cannot tell if this is due to the surrounding inflammation or if something else.
Here is a link to the images. You will need to zoom in. The bump is on the actual right side purplish and surrounded by inflammation. In some images the penis is upside down but you should be able to see it.

To answer your questions I actually have had interstitial cystitis for two years which causes this inflammation urethritis. I've already been to a urologist that diagnosed it. I also have the accompanying symptoms of lower pelvic pressure I have pain in the prostate and anal areas as well common with this condition.
My area of concern actually in asking this question was the singular bump that I found when inspecting my urethra. What is your feedback on the attached images? Is this something that you see with inflammation or is this something that needs further inspection? Thank you for your consideration
