Suggest Treatment For Blackhead On The Shaft Of Penis

I had a blackhead on the shift of my penis for about a week. It was really small. I tried to pop it but maybe I didn t squeeze hard enough. So I stopped. Then a few days later I noticed it turned into this weird pimple like thing. It s not the same size as the black head. Has gotten a lot bigger. Please advice what I should do at this point. Thanks

Hi,

Noted your short history about development of blackhead on the shaft of penis which you tried to pop but could nor get it out and after a few days developed weird pimple like thing and now wants to know what to do.
It is important to know that the skin is very loosely attached to the undersurface and the skin is relatively think without any fat at all. Hence the infection if it spreads can be alarming overnight.
The first thing to follow is not to pop up to avoid any spread of infection or edema.
Secondly, I would advise you to see your Doctor as he knows better about the possible cause, spread, new development and best possible antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicine.
You can apply Liquid povidone iodine locally.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT and General Surgeon
