Does Small Bump At The Base Of Penis Need Medical Attention?

I have a small, pinkish bump at the base of the penile shaft following an ingrown hair. It has gotten smaller since I resolved the ingrown hair, and is now a little smaller than a pencil eraser, however, it has not seemed to change over the past week, and it looks/feels almost like a ball of scar tissue. After resolving the ingrwon hair myself, I have been applying Mederma scar gel once daily. Is this something that will resolve itself, or is it a cyst that needs medical attention to be removed?

HI
Well come to HCM
This could be nonspecific type of lesion and may not be due to any disease this would come around on its own without any medicines no need to worry about this if this goes on increasing in size and shape, increases swelling then this need to be examined clinically, take care, have a nice day.
