[Question #10584] Cyst on penis shaft with a bloody dot

Dear Doctor,
I am a regular for massage parlours where I take body to body massages that involves massaging of my anus not deep inside though, massage of my balls and penis. And sometimes masseuse licks my balls and blowjobs are always protected though (whenever I recieve). Massages are always done uaing oil or cream.
A couple of days back I felt that there is a cyst on my penis shaft but I forgot about it. Today I took a massage, there was protected blowjob and hand job through which I came. After that later in the day I noticed that the cyst now has an opening and I can see some blood(very very small dot, like when a hair follicle is broken from skin).
I don’t lip these masseuse ever, I finger their anus, vagina sometimes though. And the masseuse also only do touch my anus ( with very less fingering) and provide a hand job or a condom protected blowjob. I had my full std checkup done 7 months back and I was absolutely clean.
I am very scared if I have got some disease transferred from massages. Only once I got a 4-5 second blowjob with a plastic thin wrapper (shape of condom), but I stopped right then and checked that it was not torn or leaked.
I have never had unprotected blowjob or even protected sex (vaginal or anal) with any masseuse or CSW.
Please help me to understand if I am at any risk or getting any STDs or any infections. I know my behavior is irresponsible and I am not able to give up on these massages. But please advise.

Just to add the masseuse briefly could’ve possibly rubbed my penis with her lower abdomen, buttocks but never a rigouros friction happened between bare genitals.
Also the bump is a single bump and it pains only when I touch there. When I squeezed it, I saw the there is an opening and it looks red.

Welcome to our Forum and thank you for your questions. Congratulations as well on your practice of safe, virtually no risk sex. The activities that you describe do not put you at risk for STIs. Body-to-body massage is not a risk factor for acquisition of STI. That your masseuses' provide masturbation of your anus, penis and testicles does not represent a risk factor for STI. Neither does receipt of condom-protected oral sex. If these are your only exposures- there is no need for concern and no need for testing.
The cyst on your penis, even knowing that it is open, does not change this assessment- still no risk.
---I should acknowledge that, theoretically, if a partner has a lesion diseases such as syphilis or herpes, that direct contact with an infectious lesions might theoretically transmit infection however, I emphasize that this risk is theoretical and in practice I have not seen nor heard of anyone acquiring infection in this way. Some clients ask if transfer of infectious secretions (genital secretions, saliva) on one persons' hands to another is a risk factor for STI- it is not.
Again, the sorts of exposures you describe do not put you at risk for any STI, including HIV. There is no reason for concern and no reason for testing. EWH

Thanks so much Dr Hook.
What if masseuse rubbed their genitals on my penis for a short duration?
Is it still not a risk?
Also how does the STI spread other than unprotected Vaginal, Anal or Oral sex in a practical world? (Excluding the theoretical parts)
The cyst that I have is a single bump and not a cluster or any other bumps. There is very small amount of discomfort, mostly because now my mind keeps going there.
And should I refrain from physical touch or contact with my family if you see anything is changed in your assessment after my above queries?
Many thanks.

No risk from the masseuse rubbing their genitals on your penis without penetration (and if there were penetration you would know it)
STIs are transmitted through penetrative sex at a mucosal surface, i.e. the mouth, rectum, or genitals. For lesion STIs DIRECT contact with a lesion is required for transmission, Even then, most unprotected exposures to infected partners do not lead to infection.
I would not worry about the cyst. If it concerns you, I would suggest you have a dermatologist look at it.
There is no reason to abstain from any sort of contact with your family.
Be confident you did not get an STI. EWH
