Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have what is called as infected Sebaceous Cyst at the base of penis.

Skin in groin and at the base of the penis is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.
Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.
If needed you may need to get it excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac).
