Do i need to see a doctor or can i handle this at home?
Posted , 4 users are following.
I had a harmless cyst on my penis for years, suddenly out of nowhere it started to swell, it got pretty big and then burst (on its own while wrapped in gauze), it leeked clear liquid and what appeared to be the cyst itself, the next day the swelling went down almost completely, its still slightly swollen ive been keeping it clean and bandaging it with vaseline, and im wondering if i should go to the doctor and have them check for more contents or infection/prescribe some antibiotics or if ill be fine without all that and continue to bandage it, honestly, its a wound so it hurts to the touch but otherwise no pain, just itchinessÂ

I'd see how it goes for a few days, but any further suspicious activity or pain - and get it looked at!

I think you should see a doctor. The wound/sore would be enough reason all by itself, but I'd actually be more worried about the foreskin swelling. Are you circumcised btw? It's not clear from the photo if you had a loose circumcision or were left intact. Either way, it looks quite swollen, and there are other areas there that look unusual.
You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.
If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated. Good luck.

tbh the only place that is out of the ordinary aside from the obvious hole is the right side which is alittle swollen, and id like to think that the original swelling was just from my body expelling the cyst, trust me when i say the swelling was MUCH worse a before it popped and painful now theres practically no pain, i scheduled and appointment for friday morning so if it looks alot better by then ill just deal with it at home and if it gets worse or doesnt improve then ill see the doc for sure, also its not fear im just kinda poor and cheap if this wasn't on my penis i probably would just dump so alcohol on it and call it a day, lol
