Large Sore to touch bump on shaft


Posted by Philbert

It started to form maybe a month ago, on the left side of the shaft. I squeezed it and white stringy stuff came out. just a little bit. Then it went away... Now it's back and on the right side of the shaft and I squeezed it and it just got worse... what is it?

Hmmm. If i leave it untreated for a month or two will i be permantly effected? and if i get it treated right away will i be fine?

This looks like a Syphilis symptom.

Syphilis is a bacterial infection usually spread by sexual contact. The disease starts as a painless sore on your penis. If untreated,  syphilis can damage nervous system to your heart and brain.

Syphilis rates in the United States have been rising since 2000. Nearly two-thirds of new infections occur in men who have sex with men, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Syphilis affects a higher percentage of African-Americans than whites.

Syphilis progresses in stages and can lead to serious complications or death. Having syphilis also makes you more vulnerable to HIV. When caught early, syphilis can be cured with antibiotics.

Check with a doctor because other conditions and disorders can cause this type of sore on your penis shaft.
