What is this painful bump on penis that I got after a handjob?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am sorry for such discomfort. I saw the picture you have attached (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Since when is it present? Any recent sexual history?

Any symptoms like pain, discharge from the bump? Is it present elsewhere also? Any signs while micturition?

Please reply to the above questions. So I can guide you better.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Did you seek any medical attention for it? Does this small swelling go away and reappear again, or any change in shape you noticed in these months? Since you have no sexual history, it rules out STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). It appears like a cyst on the penis. It is harmless and benign. No discharge from it means it is not infected as well. The cyst can be a little sensitive to touch or light painful. Reply to the above questions.

Thank you.

I can understand your concern. Modes of transmission of STIs include:

1) Direct contact with a lesion or sore.

2) Close personal contact.

3) Exposure to blood that contains the infectious agent.

4) Contact with vaginal fluid or semen that is through sexual contact.

5) The sharing of needles.

I would not think there is an STD risk to which you have replied, and also mention there is no form of past sexual history.

On the buttock, it appears like there are tiny sandpaper-like bumps, probably suggesting keratosis pilaris. It usually clears up on its own gradually. Apply products like a moisturizer to help improve the appearance of the skin.

I would suggest you avoid massage for the upcoming time and wait till the small swelling clears on its own. If it is a cyst, it will go away on its own. I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Genital warts would appear like small, flesh-colored brown swelling or cauliflower-like shapes. Moreover, it is caused by HPV (Human papillomavirus), acquired through sexual transmission. The person should be sexually active, and history should be present. In your case, there is no past sexual history. Genital herpes appears in blisters that are itchy and painful, and other symptoms are also present. Without any sexual account, it is unlikely that it could be STD. I would suggest you avoid massage for the upcoming time and wait whether it clears in a few weeks. If not, please visit a local doctor to identify what it could be. I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Theoretically, there is a possibility or risk of transmission of STD through handjob. The person performing a handjob should have an active genital sore and have touched her active sore before performing massage so that secretions are transmitted to her hand and then transmitted to another person. These are the possibility you have to consider or assume; however, it has a lower risk of transmission. I suggest you visit a local doctor to clarify what it could be to get peace of mind.

Thank you.

Genital warts are caused chiefly by low strains of HPV 6 and 11. It is not a dangerous but treatable condition. It can be managed with creams and other treatments. Our body's immune system can fight it off eventually, but it can be eliminated much faster with treatment. If it is found as a genital wart, a person is infectious and should avoid sex until it is absent completely. Always take barrier method precaution during sexual activity.

Treatments include:

1) Imiquimod cream.

2) Lazer therapy.

3) Cryotherapy.

Please visit a local sexual health clinic or STD to know more and get diagnosed with what it could be.

Thank you.

The lesion does not look like a wart or herpes in the picture (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). According to the medical history you have provided, you do not have any past sexual accounts except handjob massage. But there is a chance that I might not identify it correctly. You should visit a local doctor as a doctor can palpate the lesion also (if necessary), giving more idea what it could be.

I hope you find my reply helpful.

Thank you.
