Skin "growth" On Tip of Penis Head

[sega123]

Hi Doc,

Since last Thursday I recognized a "growth" on the Urethra Opening of my Penis Head, it's sort of red coloured and only can be described as a growth, in other words; the skin there isn't flat, it sort of stands up. It's on the very tip where the foreskin meets the Urethral Opening, it doesn't hurt or anything like that. I've been applying Vasceline on it for 3 days now in hope that would work but it's exactly the same as it was when I first saw it.

I should mention I haven't had any type of Sex in my life, I also get random pains around my groin area but not on the Penis or Testicles itself, I'm taking Isotretinoin so that could be causing these pains in the muscles in that area, I also do a lot of Skateboarding which causes muscle-aches, anyway.....can you give me any information about this "growth"?

Thanks in advance, Sega123.

If there is a distinct growth, you should show it to your physician.

Many non cancerous conditions can cause red lesions on the penis and what you have described may or may not be worrisome.

It is very difficult to give opinions on lesions on the skin or gentilalia, without seeing them

I forgot to mention something; the growth is right on the opening of the Urethra and the part where it is seems closed up, it looks like the opening is half-closed up or something. Thanks.
