What Causes Recurring Red Spots On The Shaft Of Penis?

Hi, Wondering if anyone can help. I ve got 2 re-occurring spots on middle of the shaft of my penis. They tend to come every couple of months and stay anything from 3 or 4 days to 2 weeks. They are about a cm in size and are a bit sore and have white puss in them. They prominent, hard, red and definitely not what I want so any help in what I can do to get rid of them and stop them coming back would be much appreciated. I ve been to the Gp about them before and one gave me a cream but it didn t help the other told me to wash my penis thoroughly when I shower as it s just a reoccurring cyst and there s nothing I can do so neither were a great help. Thanks

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

* As per my surgical experience, the issue sounds to be sebaceous cyst over the shaft of the penis most likely.

This condition usually is not curative with creams and supportive care.

* It is strongly recommended that you consult an expert surgeon and get surgery of the same for lifetime cure after clinical confirmation as other causes to have to be ruled out such as gonorrhea or chlamydia infection.

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

Take care

Regards,
