You sure can...a pimple is nothing more than an infection in a hair follicle or a pore in the skin, usually caused by a clogging of the entrance so that skin oils (sebum) collect which provides a medium for growth of bacteria.  \n\nYour pubes have both pore and hair follicles like the rest of your skin and that area because its covered tends to hold moisture and allows for clogging of the pores and follicles.  \n\nPimples are common there....

No sir. If you have an open bump(filled with pus) and somone touches that bump they can receive it as well. You have to be careful. The best thing to do is to check your partner thouroughly. If you have them yourself have patient and wait till they go away.

It could be normal if it's only on the base and underside of your penis. If it looks like a pimple, you should be okay. If it looks like a big wart (more than 4mm in diameter), you should see a doctor.

Sounds like it could be just little pimples that can form on your skin. Especially if they are in the area that you shave, that is likely what they are. The white on them and the fact that they come and go is what makes me believe that. If you are concerned... definately go see a doctor.

My dad is a colo-rectal surgeon and made me work there 5 years. I'm not in the medical field and you should see your Dr. On fridays, b 4 freezing, we had wart-burning day and it stank. No, I'm not kidding. A genital wart usually looks like a tiny cauliflower and doesn't have pus in it like a pimple does. Also, it is harder. It comes off in one piece, like a wart and unlike pimple if the patient tries to dig it out themselves. You asked!!!!

It would be more helpful to have a better description,but it could possibly be small boils,pimples,excess oil in your hair or excessive sweating may contribute to pimples there. The other person that said ingrown hairs is correct also. And it could possibly be eczema or psoriasis too. If it is bothersome,get it checked out by a dermatologist.

Source:\nMost likely, what you are describing IS a pimple -- a blockage of a sebaceous gland that becomes infected. If it is located more on the inside of the vaginal opening, it may be a Bartholin's gland cyst or abscess; this is again a blockage of a gland opening, leading to buildup of fluid in the gland and subsequent infection. \n\nThe best treatment is hot compresses preferably a washcloth which you can heat under running hot water-- do not pop it! Popping something like this is only going to increase the chance of causing an infection or worsening a mild infection. If it gets worse, call your doctor's office and tell the receptionist you have an infection and you must be seen that day or the next. It doesn't do any good to go in once the growth has disappeared. Most offices keep a slot or two open every day for just this sort of thing.

They could be irritated ingrown hairs, depending on where they are at.  Also, if you don't wear underwear, and sweat a lot they could be pimples.  See a dermatologist.  May be embarrassing, but no more embarassing than having someone else see them.

If you're not a virgin it could be syphilis, herpes, or HPV, gonorrhea or chlamydia.  If it looks like a pimple, it most likely is a folliculitis - this is benign, non-infectious, and self resolving.  If you think you could have an STD I recommend seeing a Dr.  All STD's are treatable to some extent, and without treatment some may have dire consequences - also, if you're under 18 (or over), your Dr is not legally permitted to discuss sexual health matters with your parent without your permission.

Pimples occure because pores gets clogged with dead skin, dirt, oil, and it mixes with bacteria that can cause infections. Pimples occur mainly on the face because that is the one part of our body we touch most with our hands. everybody knows hands are the primary source for spreading germs.

Herpes infects the sacral ganglia nerves, so you can get an outbreak anywhere from the waist down, though the boxer short area is the most common.\n\nYou didn't get this from a tanning bed.  You got this from sexual contact.\n\nIf you are on daily meds, and still getting frequent obs, you should check with your doc to make sure nothing else is going on, like another std or yeast or bacterial vaginosis.  You might also need to go to a higher dose.\n\nCheck out the websites I have listed.  They are so helpful.  On the racoon one, go to the support forums.  All are free.  :)

Okay there are several possibilities here.  One is cystic acne, HOWEVER, if you have not had cystic acne before it would be very unusual for it to start now and for you to have only one spot effected! (fyi, cystic acne is aka underground pimples and do not come to a "head" easily and often leave scars).  Two, this could be an ingrown hair. This is much more common in males who shave but can occur in females as well. The hair literally has been covered with epidermis (top layer of skin) and is growing inward which causes a local inflammatory reaction/infection.  Third, an abscess caused by a local infection.  Now, to be technically correct all of the above, including a basic pimple, are abscesses (pus filled lesions). I am differentiating by cause be it a cystic pimple, ingrown hair or secondary infection (i.e. a scratch).\n\nTreatment: "Let the 'evil' humours out!" \nIn other words..."release the pus!"  Most teenagers are adept at this by squeezing their 'zits,' but the type of lesion/lump you have will not simply erupt with squeezing. If anything, you risk making it worse! So what do you do? Well, you can try: \n1) Direct heat with a wash cloth soaked in the hottest water you can stand without burning yourself and an astringent such as Witch Hazel.  This will, hopefully, bring the lesion to a 'head' (a whitish or thin dome on top) at which point it is ready for extruding (i.e. a good squeeze to release the pus)!) 2) Apply antibiotic cream or ointment 3 times a day along with a secondary antibiotic like Oxy 10 (this will hopefully reduce the size by fighting the infection). 3) Finally, IF the lump is indeed pus filled and not simple induration (inflammatory response that precedes the pus stage) you need it drained. IF you are lucky and step number one allowed you to get rid of the pus (that white/yellow nasty stuff that you get out of pimples) then, Great! BUT, if you have an ingrown hair or the secondary infection then you will need 'surgical' drainage and treatment of the underlying problem. In other words, a doctor needs to lance the lump with a scalpel. DON'T STRESS! This is done with a bit of local anesthetic and a quick stab with a small surgical blade which releases the pus and you instantly feel much better! You may need oral antibiotics such as cephalexin or sulfa or clindamycin or doxicycline as well as topical (skin applied) antibiotics to treat the infection. The doctor may remove the ingrown hair if that is the cause.\n\nBottom line: IF the lump does NOT come to a head or does not recede with topical treatment then you need to see your doctor for definitive care. Don't stress! The treatment is FAR better than the alternative of a worsened infection that could, RARELY, lead to admission to the hospital for major IV antibiotics and surgery.  Treat it early and aggressively!\n\nALSO, Since I know that people with pimples may be reading this...PLEASE be careful in squeezing pimples in the 'T' zone. This is the area from the tip of your nose to the forehead from between your eyebrows! The drainage system of this area leads DIRECTLY toward your brain!  I am not joking in relating the following anecdote: I had a patient DIE of a pimple! He squeezed one in this T zone and the infection spread to his brain and he died of cerebritis (brain infection) despite aggressive treatment!\n\nUSE topical antibiotics or see your doctor if you have a 'zit' that gets bigger in this 'T' Zone or has worsened redness of the surrounding skin (aka Cellulitis).\n\nGood Luck!\n\nGreg M.D.

I have seen cancer start with a small pimple like bump on the inside of the cheek.  If concerned seek advise from your doctor or denist.

Some guys have bumps called "pearly penile papules" on their penises, which are normal growths that appear around the base of hair follicles. Also, another fairly common condition is infection of the sebaceous glands, or simply put, pimple-like growths. These infections respond to antibiotics. Both conditions are not unusual, but it is best to be evaluated by a clinician to determine a diagnosis and treatment, if any is necessary.\n\nRemember, some sexually transmitted infections, like herpes and genital warts, can be transmitted through close skin-to-skin contact, even if the person has never had intercourse.
