Bump on penis, what is it and what should I do

Posted , 2 users are following.

Good day. I am looking for some medical advice. About a week ago I noticed a bump on the shaft of my penis. At first it was a little tender, but now it doesn't hurt at all unless I squeeze it. Ive applied tea tree oil and hydrocortisone to it. I have squeezed it and a white head has come out (I know I should not have, but I anxious). I also have applied a warm compress and ice as well. The bump has decreased in size but I am still worried. I am a 27 year old male and I am sexually active and am in a monogamous relationship. Any advice will help.

    First of all STOP trying to pop it. All you are doing is making it worse. You had the right idea with the warm compress. Your going to have to do it for more then a couple of days. If you can take hotter do it. I had one that size on my scrotum. I did that and it popped on it own. Cleaned it up and it was gone in 2 days and never came back.

    Good luck.....Ken

      thank you! I will continue to put the warm compress on it. Its hard for me to not squeeze it because I am nervous but I will stop.

      So Im just getting home from work and I see that it burst on its own! Hopefully it goes away completely within a few days
