I am 18 years old and haven't had sex in a year. My left inside part of the leg has been itching for about half a year, no swelling, lumps, or bumps..just itching that won't go away till i itch it. One bump formed. it's skin colored on my inside left leg. it doesn't hurt or anything. Then last night i noticed another lump on my penis. About all the near the base on the right hand side. doesn't hurt or itch it's just there. Im wondering what it could be?

hmmmm, it could be anything such as a Molluscum or genital warts. To be sure, have them checked out by your local doctor or visit a sexual health clinic such as Planned Parenthood. Editors Note: It could also be other things such as blemishes or inflammed hair follicles. As the expert suggested above, be sure to get them checked out and then you can stop worrying and get on with the proper treatment (if any is required). Patty Fawver, Ph.D.
