Itchy Lump Under The Skin Of Penis Shaft, Clear Liquid When Soft, Patchy Cover Taken Off, Swelling After Masturbation. Help

Starting a few weeks ago, I had these small red patches on the head of my penis. But those soon went away, but now I have this lump under the skin of the shaft of my penis. It sometimes itches, and if I take the soft yet patchy cover it lets out a clear liquid. It usually flattens back to the normal look, but if I touch it or mess with it, usually by masturbation it swells up larger and slowly goes back down some. I would appreciate any help I could get, and if a picture would help I could also do that. Thanks.

Hi, it appears to be a bacterial infection, that lead to an abscess, which is discharging the pus at times, and as it is not treated completely leading to collection of the pus. It needs to be treated with antibiotics and antiinflamatories . if there is recurance it need to be incised and drained.
So i advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you.
