What Causes Inflamed Bump On The Shaft Of The Penis With Pus Formation?

I had a single inflamed bump on the shaft of my penis. I popped it thinking it might just be a pimple and some solid stuff came out and then it bled alot for something so small. What could this be, i have never popped a pimple with such solid stuff in it before?

Hello
Thanks for query.
Based on the facts that you have posted I would say that you have infeted Sebaceous Cyst on the 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.

Take broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.

If it persists even after taking medications for a week you will need to consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.You may need to get it excised in Toto (Completely along with
the sac).
