It primarily just started off just as a tiny bump and personally i thought it was no big deal. But now its progressed into a red sensitive blown up bump that mainly hurts when I touch it. What could it be ? PLS HELP!

    Hey, thanks for the response. Yes but not recently. My last encounter was on Dec 27. This just showed up alittle over week ago. Now with the cyst ive noticed it has gone down some. Should i go to the doctor with the way it looks now or just wait it out?

    Photo 1 shows a cyst like bump but subsequent photos show you have an infection present and this has become quite raw. Did you try to pop the bump I wonder?

    What you will need to do is clear the infection and let the skin where the bump is fully heal.

    Get yourself some Liquid Antiseptic for treating cuts, grazes and insect bites of the skin - check the instructions and use as directed.

    Apply 2 or 3 times a day - it may sting a great deal the first time you apply it and be less-so after that.

    Use the liquid for 4 to 5 days and the skin should heal up quite nicely - continue to apply the liquid for up to 7 or 8 days once a day to ensure no infection returns

      Hey, thanks for the reply. What would cause cyst like bump to appear? & No, i did not try to pop the bump i just left it alone. Thank you! i will try to pick up the liquid tomorrow.

      Cysts are linked to extended / rough masturbation / sex or manual methods of penis enlargement.

      Infections can be a simple blockage to a skin pore or sebaceous gland, or potentially an ingrown hair

      The quicker you treat it the sooner it will heal
