about two weeks ago I noticed a small red bump at the end of my shaft/start of scrotum. I just thought it was a pimple so I squeezed it, nothing came of it. in the following day's however, the lump has continually got bigger and yellowish. its feels very hard/firm and also feels like it may now be infected. I live in England and considering what's going on in the world, its quite difficult to get a doctor's appointment so I need some advice and guidance as to what this is. Im worried that if its a cyst, it will continue to grow and i won't be able to get the treatment to fix it. please help!
i took two photos, one with flash and one without. the yellow is a lot more visible with light shined on itimage

It does indeed look like a sebaceous cyst - possibly infected. Does your doctor not offer online consultations? Mine does and I am also in the UK.

to be honest im not sure, I haven't checked yet. it's new so i wanted to wait it out and see how it developed. funnily enough, when I woke up this morning it was a lot more tender and soft. I touched it slightly and it burst, with a lot of yellow puss coming out of it. Im going to avoid touching it for a few days and see how it plays out, but the fact that its burst on its own seems to be a positive sign. hopefully it resolves itself without any need for treatment.

Sounds hopeful. Good luck!

I'm also in UK. there are no complications to contact my GP or GUM clinic. You better pay a visit to doctor to clear it.

It's sorted itself out now thankfully. filled with puss and burst on its own, gradually got smaller day by day. a relief for sure

Infection from ingrown hairs.

Hi, I have a similar spot now too. After yours burst did it leave a hole or anything? and is it still leaking puss now? thanks so much!
