I have a strange pimple-like bump on my penis shaft. It just kind of appeared one day. I take showers daily so I m pretty clean. The top of the bump is white (much like a pimple) however it s surrounded by redness and it kinda feels like a rock underneath the skin. I ve tried my acne medication there before a few times and it doesn t seem to help a whole lot. I got this about a week ago or so. When I squeeze or apply pressure the pus comes out sometimes followed by blood. I did also masturbate usually once every single day but I ve stopped since this came up. Anything I could do besides seeing a doctor? Any thoughts as to what it actually is?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The bump on the penile shaft as you have explained is usually due to a small boil. This is a retention cyst of some nature like a sebaceous cyst or a Desmond or so. Since you have tried to pop it you have ruptured the skin barriers but since the contents are inside, it is still feeling like a rock under the skin. You have already tried some medicines. You need to take an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine like Ibuprofen. If this does not help, consult a Doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
