I had this bump-thing on the space above the penis, where all the hair is and stuff.

Yeah, it was like a pimple, but it was pretty big. When I took my boxers off, there would be blotches of blood where the bump was. I remember getting one just like it last Christmas, but there was this huge hair in it, and I plucked it out and it went away after a while. I was really freaked out by it, and then read in my health textbook that genital herpes has to do with bumps and outbreaks and stuff. You can't get herpes from masturbating, can you? Because I do that alot. I don't know how to analyze this.



Also, my balls have started to smell. I mean, after I take a shower and wash them really well, after some hours, they start to smell again. They've never done stuff like this. No one notices, but I do when I go to pee and stuff. Is this also puberty, or are my balls funky for no reason?

i had a pimple down their a few months back. the fact that a couple of pubic hairs were growing through it made it hurt a bit and it took a few days for it to go down. as far as i know you can only get herpes by having unprotected intercourse as it is an std so i would say its most likely a pimple. i can't say much about your ball situation as i haven't had that problem.

I'll have too agree with trigure, all happend 2 me acept 4m the smelly testicles, i fink u shud tell ur doctor about that

As for the undesireable smell... Some people just naturally sweat a bit more in the pubic area than others, which could lead to a bit smell. Also, the more hair you have the more likely it is to smell, as this also encourages sweating. After showering, try applying some powder. This should help to keep things dry and smell-free. Also, it is possible that it's not actually your balls that smell, but rather your penis (especially if you are uncircumcised). It is important to wash everyday, but if you're uncircumcised it may be necessary to wash twice (or more, if you're really active). Once again, some powder after a shower should work just fine.

if ur really concerned, tell ur mum u need to see the doctor about something, if she questions then say you need advice on an allergy or something and stress that ur old enough to go yourself . Hopefully she'll let you go.

If not, then i'm sure it will pass.

I'm betting you shaved?..........If you did you have nothing to worry about. Shaving your pubes is not a good thing to do. Because of the way they grow, it's hard to shave IN THE DIRECTION OF GROWTH, so you'll end up with bumps. That's why you found a hair in it?.........I'm just guessin, correct me if i'm wrong.


And about the smell.........do you J/O after you shower? A lot? It may be the smell of your semen. It's actually pretty adhesive and could cause those odors, especially if you sweat.

[Nicnac425]

Yes it will pass in about a month (maybe sooner it took that long for me!)

[Antares]

umm as for the smell like it was alrady said
people that are uncircumsized have a natrual smell that sometimes happens
also the bumps since they have come back again and its not the first time and all of the other ideas above are a negative for you then definatly see a doctor because in some cases they can be bad and some they are just nothing

[Cap'nCrunch]

First off, herpes only comes from sexual intercourse with another person.

I don't know what to say about your funky sac

[Dameon]

You know, some people sweat more than others, and actually some studies have shown that you sweat MORE profusely and the smell is worse duing puberty.

[dmeek7]

on the first thing you probably have a disiese im sorry i cant help on that

on the second thing its puberty you have a special stink that will be there for the rest of your life you may think it smells nasty but the ladies will go nuts over it. its just like with woman. have you ever heard of sniffing girls pantys they have an awsome smell but its nasty to woman.
