Recurrent Bump On Penis Shaft With Pus And Blood Coming Out On Squeezing

Hello, I have recently got this pimple-like bump on the shaft of my penis near the head and just below the foreskin . It does not hurt. It comes to a head every couple of days and when I pop it, some pus comes out and a little bit of blood afterwards. It keeps filling up though and I dont know how to make it go away. I dont want to see a doctor because it is embaressing and I dont want to tell my family. I am not sexually active and I never have had sex.

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 on shaft of the penis.

The penile skin 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.

Please take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.for a week .

If persists even after taking antibiotics you will need to consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.
If needed it may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)under local anaesthesia.
