Pimple? Ingrown hair? What is this on my penile shaft.

Posted , 22 users are following.

I had a little bump on my penis which when I pressed, very little pus came out of it.

after a few days, it grew bigger and again after waiting for a few days it was 95% gone. (I also saw a tiny hair growing from it which vanished after a while)

But after a few days now, and some sexual activities like fellatio etc., it has grown bigger and a white head is on it (attached photos).

I did meddle with it and white watery liquid + pus + some blood did come out...but that was before it turned into this.

Can anybody help me with this? is it cancer? is it herpes? what is it? HOW DO I GET RID OF IT?

      Haven't been touching it for a day now and it's size has started to decrease...could it be a pimple? is there a home remedy? Can't go to the doctor rn.. but will surely pay a visit in a week or 2...

      also the white head on it has become more concentrated and has now started to protrude out a little bit...

      Should i be using concentrated antiseptics on it? Or should I just leave it the way it is and see the doc in a week or so?

      When something like this happens clean all the puss away with fresh toilet tissues and flush them away.

      You need to keep the area clean from potential infection, after washing or taking a shower and drying the entire area get some liquid antiseptic and dab a little on the wound 2 or 3 times a day.

      As Kim suggests, get a medical professional to check out what it was that you originally had ......

      UPDATE : Doctor says its a normal puss bubble, not a cyst and it doesn't need to be cut. has prescribed me a medicine (cefakind) and tells me that it will heal itself in a few days (7 MAX)

    1 - Never ever "pop" anything on your penis (or vagina/ anus)

    You can make it far worse and get a second infection

    2 - looks like Herpes?

    Get yourself tested and let us know

      just as I applied antiseptic lotion on it and some soframycin, it opened up again and oozed a little...

      now again when I check it, a hard lump of puss just fell out and it looks like a wound now than a cyst...

      is it getting severe or better?

      some skin cysts just go away on there own once they have emptied others have to be surgically removed
