I have a small flat bump on the foreskin. Could this be STI?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query and have looked at the image you have provided (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). It would be good if you have taken the picture with a better focus on the lesion as it is slightly off-centered. If you can provide better-focused images, it would be better.

It does not appear like an STI (sexually transmitted infection) based on the appearance and history provided by you. It could just probably be local trauma caused during dry masturbation. The other rare possibility is a genital wart in the early developing stage. As there is not any recent contact, they can appear after months, even years. But I would not just consider it as a lesion because it is more flat and single.

I would consider observation and using lubricant during masturbation to avoid skin damage. Keep watch for the progression of that lesion. If it becomes more raised or a new lesion appears, then I would advise you to consult a doctor in person to get it treated.

If you have any more questions, you can always revert here.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The image (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) you have provided now is much better.

The lesion is flat-topped, slightly raised, shiny with no irritation, burning, pain, or discharge. There is no change in size, and there is no new lesion.

It does not appear to be STI. It could be just a healing tissue after friction injury.

Just keep a watch on progression, as it does not seem to cause any symptoms.

Thank you.
