How To Remove Painful Bump On Lower Shaft Of Penis After Shaving?
I have had this painful pimple like bump on the lower shaft of my penis for a couple of weeks. In that time frame I have been squeezing it to try and get it to break but have been unsuccessful. Now it s a bit bigger and painful when I squeeze it. I noticed that it appeared after I shaved.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You have developed a hair follicle infection in the region. This is a common occurrence. Because you have tried to squeeze it, it has got infected and enlarged in size. It is suggested that you do not break it and instead apply neosporin ointment over it for a week. If it does not reduce then you may have to consult a doctor and take a course of antibiotics.
