The sight of them is getting really depressing. Although single at the moment I want to get it sorted before I date again. They're very small, a bit lighter than the actual skin tone and some have weeped or has had a tiny amount of puss come out, but only one or two out of all of them. Would I just go to my GP about this or would I be entitled to go to some kind of clinic? How would I locate such a clinic, I'm stuck there for a start? I'd rather do the latter as I have been to my GP a lot and I find it far too embarrasing to go there about this. This is one in a long line of physical problems which is really getting me down so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

These used to be called Family Planning Clinics but are now termed Sexual Health Clinics. Phone up you GP surgery and ask for the telephone number to the nearest Sexual Health Clinic. Phone them up, book an appointment - easy - you'll feel much better for getting over and done with I'm sure.

Pussing spots on the penis though are not normal and you should get it checked out ASAP. Being embarrassed is not a good enough excuse I'm afraid - many men die from cancer because they are too embarrassed to have their parts looked at by an expert. For the sake of about a 10 second inspection you are worrying over absolutely nothing - trust me, it's far easier than you are imagining it to be. Get it seen to right away, there is no answer option.

 Best place for you to try is a birth control clinic. Same place you go to get your free condoms will be able to get you in to see a nurse in a short time and see what is going on.
I find that these clinics are a lot less nerve-wracking for these sorts of problems--the staff there are always old hands who have seen everything. They won't be a bit thrown by any problem you can show them and they are sure to have a solution for you.
There services are usually free and easy to get to. Check your local NHS website to find your nearest one, or call in at the reception desk at your local hospital. There is usually one either in the main hospital building, or very near by.
Best of luck to you.

At any rate, you'd better go see your GP. No need to be embarrassed; he's seen it all, and this is his job. Better your health than being embarrassed.......
