Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 18 years old. I masturbated twice a day for the past three days. But I have stopped doing it now because I got two pimple-like structures on my penis. The first one is present on the right side and another one is below the shaft near the joining point of the penis and scrotum. One of these pimples is not newly formed and it is present there when I shaved the area for the first time. At that time, I did not have any pain but now I have pain and another pimple is small in size when compared to the first one and it seems to be pus-filled. It causes itching for months now. Please help me.

You can shorten the hair by using a safe electric hair trimmer. Do not use a shaver.
