Question: what is this it started out as a brown pimple looking deal I tried to pop it but nothing next day it turned white and look like it could be popped and again nothing I'm worried sick and darn near impossible to go to the doctor it's on the back side of my shaft thank you
Brief Answer:
Penile lesion
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
This is a classical genital ulcer. You would need to go down to the doctor to get this evaluated. In many cases it comes out from a simple infection in which pus is formed and the lesion erupts leaving a scab which later heals by itself. In other cases, it is due to a sexually transmitted infection (STI) if you have a history of unprotected sexual intercourse. Therefore, a couple of tests would be needed and the appropriate medications instituted after you meet a doctor.
