Pimples

[TommyBoy]

I get these pimples on my dick.
I'm pretty sure their pimples because they look like the ones I get on my face. I have these white bumps which I found out are hair follicles, now once in a while one swells up and becomes red, like a pimple. Is there any way of stopping this? they hurt really bad if I push on them with anything. Which is kinda annoying. oh and by the way, I'm pretty clean I take a shower every 2 days, and between then I wash down there a little bit with a cloth and soap.

If they are pimples, then VERY regular washing should keep them at bay. *And maybe a powder to absorb sweat and oil.

As likely, it could be an ingrown hair. *What you do for that is use a warm moist washcloth to soften the area and try and see if you can see the hair. *If you can, then tweeze it out. *I get these occassionally, and while painful to get rid of, you feel better all most at once. *And the "pimple" heals fairly quickly. *There are also product on the market that say they are for this. *Just Google "ingrown hair" and look for the ones designed for the pubic area.

Can't get any products online, no credit card and my parents arn't rich so we dont need one. and I went in a warm bath last night and it took the white head off and I took a bandaid with polysporn (sp) and its been on ever since. Think I'm going to take another 1 tonight.

The best thing to do is take a shower at least ONCE PER DAY!

That will stop anything at all from forming. *Do you have sex often? You should always shower after sex. *If it's too late at night, have one the next morning but DO NOT go the rest of that day without one, make sure you at least have one at night if you can't have one in the morning. *If you dont you could get infected by some sort of disease and you could infect your partner, too. You dont want your dirty bits entering anyone, that's just disrespect within itself.

As oberon said, start plucking if they're ingrown hairs, otherwise it could be a bit if skin irritation, especially if you do have sex often. *So keep clean and use powder to absorb any sweat! Many ppl dont think they sweat much down there but in reality, we sweat a whole lot - girls and guys.

Hey, Tommyboy, no sweat. I didn't get my first real boyfriend 'till i was 17. I just didn't come across anybody i particularly fancied, but there was something about my man that drew me to him. I'm sure a similar thing will happen to you. Just be independent and go by how you feel your heart, not what everybody else does or says. It's the best way to live life and i am SO GLAD i carry that trait in my personality

Anywho, scrub well (sorry, i had to say that) and look after yourself. You know you can always come back here for more advice!
