Hello
Thanks for query.

The pus filled bump on shaft of the penis is infected sebaceous cyst.

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.

Please take antibiotic like Doxicyclin along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily for a week.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

If needed it may have to be excised in Toto.under local anesthesia.
