Noticed flesh coloured bump at the tip of the foreskin, with some irritation.

Hi, so today i noticed a flesh coloured bump at the tip of my foreskin. The area around it is kind of inflamed. I'm 17 years old. I don not experience any discomfort or pain related to it, i also feel no resistance when i touch it. I'd like some help identifying what this might be.

are you sexually active? if yes…when was the last time you had sex?

I i recall correctly the last time was 19.7

well..you should go to a sexual health clinic and get it checked out, might be nothing..or might be a hpv wart (not the end of the world…45% of all US men currently have an active HPV infection)

There is an area of white patchy skin on the glans / head of your penis, how long has this been like that?

I’m pretty sure that’s just the lighting in the picture. Don’t see anything of the sort.

Should i do so even if my partner shows no symptoms and i’ve used protection every time?
