Suggest Remedy For Hard Painful Bump Under The Skin In Penis Area

I recently decided that I didn t like the hair that grows in abundance on the base of my penis so I painfully plucked each one. Shorty after there was a hard painful bump under the skin. I have had this before when I was much younger but was eventually able to see an ingrown hair and pull it and problem solved. Unfortunately this time I see no hair. After researching online I m thinking it s a inflamed gland. I ve been messing with it then tried leaving it alone and now back to messing with it. I m curious,acknowledging that I should see a doctor (which isn t an option right now) is there a cream or something I can get to help speed this process up. I ve been using triple antibiotic ointment so far

Hi,
It seems that due to plucking of pubic hair there might be having ingrown hair follicle infection.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
If swelling, pain or induration increase then go for one antibiotic medicine course.
Go for shaving with razor rather doing plucking.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
