I am a 16 year old whos still a virgin and hasnt done anything sex related what so ever. I have a big red looking spot on my penis shaft and after some research think it is an ingrown hair. I havent shaved down there but Im worried and its painful to touch. Even just contact with it hurts. Can you please tell me how to fix it and get back to normal in as little pain as possible please.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that it may be an ingrown hair. You could consider the use of warm compresses to encourage blood to circulate to the area, this would also help with pain relief. In addition, the area should be kept clean with a mild cleanser or antiseptic lotion. The application of a topical antibiotic may also be helpful as would the use of an anti-inflammatory painkiller such as ibuprofen, Catalan or aspirin. I hope this helps
