Suggest Treatment For Skin Colored Itchy Bump On Penis

hi, I recently noticed a small skin coloured bump on the shaft of my penis. I ignored it for about a month and it stayed the same size. it was never itchy. never hurt. I decided to pop it 2 days ago and puss came out. it came back the next day even bigger about twice the size. it was still hard but didn t really hurt. I popped it again and out came puss and blood. I tried to get as much as I could out before putting on some polysporin. I m really worried because I ve only had sex with one person and it was back in May.

Hello,

Do not pop it or scratch it. Itchy rash or bump on the shaft of penis can be scabies on penis. Take antihistamines, antibiotics (amoxicillin/augmentin) to heal the infection. You can apply steroid cream on the affected area. Sta away from polygamy, take care of your hygiene. Wear cotton clothes, do not share clothes or bedding & practice personal hygiene.

You should visit ER, get physically examined. Such symptoms can also occur due to folliculitis, contact dermatitis or Sexually transmitted diseases. Get all tests for STI done, gt evaluated, get treated. You may need antivirals along with antibiotics.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
