Occluded hair follicle and update

I just received my lab results. Negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Doc says it was probably a UTI. At the time of the exam he did mention an "occluded hair follicle". I shave down there so I get them sometimes. But I looked today and its still there, he noticed it a week ago. Its right in the fold between my groin and thigh. Its the size of a pin head, pinkish with a white head. I'm sooo tempted to poke and prod it, but I know better. Can I put some .25% Retin-A on it? I'm so paranoid now, I know I'm reading more into every twinge, I've never looked at my own vagina so much in my life. I had to look in the mirror today and tell myself to JUST STOP and get a grip.

And I have one more weird question. Maybe its an urban myth, but a very educated man told me this. If a man does not ejaculate into a womans vagina during intercourse he is less likely to develop an STD. This man told me its because the muscles in the penis (? I'm not sure how it normally works ) pulls vag secretions UP INTO the penis during orgasm. I know there is pre-cum to deal with, but I'm curious if its possible.

STD transmission can occur without ejaculation and is possible. I agree with Vance and his comment that this man is not well informed about how STD transmissions occur.

Regarding your staement, "A man is less likely to get a STD from unprotected vaginal sex if the woman has a STD if the man does not ejaculate..." why would that be?
