What is the little button between penis and belly called?
Patient: this is kind of awkward but here i go, i am 17 years old and i have little button on the skin of the... lower abdomen (between the penis and the belly, i don't know what its called). i did my recherche i think it might just be acne (given my age) or fordyce spots, what do you think, should i be worried? (aditional info : i am still a virgin so i know its probably not an STD) Doctor: Hello,I have gone through your query and understand your concern.Your query is ambiguous and incomplete.You said that it looks like acne, I suspect it to be a infected hair follicle.As this the hair rich area, probably, it might be a infected hair follicle.This is usually caused by staphylococcal bacteria.It is not a sexually transmitted disease.You need the examination by your primary care physician to confirm the diagnosis.You need antibiotics like amoxycillin to get rid of this infection.Wash the area with the warm water.Sitz bath will be helpful.Hope this helps.Please write back for further queries.Wishing you good health.
