I made a previous post on here 2 weeks ago about a persistent penis pimple. As recommended I’ve tried not to aggravate it and I’ve been keeping it clean.

I’ve had this “pimple” for over a month now. It was about 4mm (0.15 inches) 2 weeks ago, and now it’s about 5mm (0.2 inches). It’s still red, but honestly no pain at all. It seems flatter than it used to be.

I can pinch my fingers under it so I’m pretty sure it’s just on the skin layer too.

Can a pimple in this area take a long time to heal? I’m trying to avoid an unnecessary trip to the doctor if possible.

Two weeks is nothing, it can take four to six months to vanish.
