Question : I have had a painless bump on my penis for 5 days now. It is not an open sore. Im worried it is syphilis. I have had protected vaginal sex 2 months ago but unprotected oral sex. I had a blood test 1 week after that sexual encounter and i was negative. So, im not sure if it is syphilis or just a genital wart. It is soft and i dont notice any swollen lymph nodes. Was the blood test conclusive? It has been two months sine i had sex. The bump is on my penis shaft.
Brief Answer:
Supportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Bumps on penis are mostly benign and self resolving. it just needs supportive care , dont pop, poke or pick these bumps, maintain a good hygiene and avoid sweating down there, wear loose undergarments preferably of cotton and keep the area hair free. With negative STDs test which are conclusive for sure , its not STDs nor warts. No worries. Hang in there, these bumps will self resolve in a week or two.
I hope it helps Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

One last question. Is a back ache a syphilis symptom? Because i read that joint pain is a syphilis symptom.
Brief Answer:
no
Detailed Answer:
Syphilis is not the only thing that cause joint pain and causes in tertiary stages after repeated infection. On the other hand back pain is very common day to day issue and mostly benign and needs just a few tylenols or advils.
I hope it helps.
