One of my close friends confided to me he might have an STD he doesn't know yet as he hasn't gone in to check himself out. He said it's like a pimple on his anus or rectal area, says he's had it for like 7 yrs or 8 yrs...

I know i know i asked him why he didn't get it checked out sooner he said he never had sex yet as he's abstaining (he's pretty honest so I believe him and since i've been living with the guy for the past while 4-5 yrs, I believe him as I never see him with any chicks or guys in his room...so...he's not really sure what it can be as it doesn't make any sense as he's completely abstained from having sex till marriage (he's not gay/bi either and he's relatively fit).

No other signs of symptoms when he got it, no rashes either. Any ideas? He said to me he "might" have gotten it when he had the chicken pox way back in his early teens and thought it was just another pox than.

I told him to get it checked out asap so he's going to do it probably later this week, but any MDs on here that might know what it is ahead of time? or fellow pixies that might shed some light?

not an MD, but am doubtful it's an STD. It could be any number of things and it's wise to have it checked...

What confuses the hell out of me is that past 4-5 yrs i've lived with the guy i've noticed he's very clean as well. Takes 2-3 showers a day and uses up all the hot water out of the tank (bastard! heh) so I can't see it being hygenic...

So it's got me really confused...

If it's been around for that long, there's a good chance it's more like some sort of growth not STD related, but it wouldn't hurt to have it checked because even if it's NOT an STD it could be something else serious.

I am a nursing student, and I know quite a bit about STDs but this doesn't sound like any STD....I need more specifics... Is there any pain in this "pimple"? Does it swell? Does it cause him discomfort? Does it change color?

I can give my input, but the only way for him to be accurately diagnosed is to see a MD. For me to try to diagnose him with ANYTHING would be unprofessional and irresponsible, so that is not what I'm trying to do. Just want to help

Ah your question mimicked what i asked him about pain and swelling, forgot to add that. No pain he said or swelling or discomfort as it's very small like a zit he said... but when he takes a crap sometimes there's a small trickle of blood when he wipes his ass, says the blood is as small as when you cut yourself on the face with a razor over a zit.

I'm thinking now...Could it be a hair trying to grow out but can't? As I know I have a hairy ass crack myself.

hemmorroid?

Could be something like that, doesn't sound like an STD. Tell him to see the doc and keep us updated.
