Suggest Treatment For A Pimple-like Bump On The Penis

I think I have a pimple on my penis. I am not sexually active but have a pretty big pimple-looking bump on my penis. The tip of the bump has gotten a bit purple I think just from rubbing against clothing. What course of action should I take to get rid of it?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Based on the description, it appears that you could be having mild infection of the skin covering the penis.
Kindly do the following to overcome the symptoms.
1. Wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon thrice daily.
2. After drying, apply Neomycin cream over the lesions.
3. Take Tablet.Levocetrizine once a day to control itching, if you experience.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide proper ventilation and avoid friction in the affected area.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Maintain clean and good personal hygiene.
Gradually, your symptoms should subside and you should feel better.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
