What Causes Lump Under The Skin Of Penis Shaft?

I have a lump under the penile shaft skin, initially it seems to start at the root of the hair, which i tried to squeese, and some white puss came out. The lump seemed to dissappear, but came back .The size of the lump has steadily increased and seems to move under the skin.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to folliculitis. Washing with warm saline and applying betadine ointment will be helpful. But if lumpy swelling is there then i can be abscess and such case incision and drainage as well as antibiotic therapy will be needed. In such case better approach a general surgeon.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
