A swollen bump on shaft of penis

[pikkies]

Hello everyone, I've been very worried these past 2 days, I have recently found a pimple-like bump on the shaft of my penis, next to my balls.

Some background info on me: I am 14 years old and I am a bit scared and embarrased on going to the doctor to check it out.

I want to know for sure what it is but I don't have the least idea of what it is.

It hurts when I squeeze it or touch it and when I grab it, it feels like a small area of "stuff" kind of like a wart.

I am happy to post a picture if needed. Help please!

About 2-4 days ago i noticed something on the shaft of my penis and i saw it was a bump. It has gotten a bit bigger since when i have found out about it. It looks red and feels sore or stings when i touch it and it looks as if it is on the outside or on the skin of the penis shaft. A few days before all this happened i did notice something very small there it didn't look like a bump but you could tell something was there and I wasn't to worried about it since it didn't look like anything to worry about. I am 15 years old and have not had sex. Im very freaked out and would be embarrassing if i would have to go to the doctor! Please help someone! It looks red, feels sore or stings when i touch it, sort of hurts if i try to squeeze it, and looks as if it is on the outside on the skin of my penis shaft.

Hello,

I have the same problem a bump on the side of my penis that actually popped with puss and blood. Now it's swollen and has popped a few times and doesn't appear to be going away. I have had a small bump on my penis now for 10 years never went away or got bigger. When a few weeks ago it became bigger. I had it checked out by a doctor and she said it was not a std and it was just a bump and for me not to worry about it. Since the Doctor appointment the bump became bigger and It popped. I'm just wondering what to do now. Should I go to the doctor again? thanks

Hello,
Yes it will heal in a few days. Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.

Hello i noticed a pump next to the hair of my penis , i popped it and some white puss looking like thing came out, it abit sore now when i touch it,  should i be worried ?

If you just popped it- it needs time to heal, so it being sore is to be expected.  Keep the area clean and if you notice things getting worse or see any signs of infection- get to your doctor.

Thanks for the info!

Today, even though it was very painful, I squeezed it really hard and it popped just like a pimple. Some sort of whitish liquid came out (pus?) and it bleeded a bit. After that it didn't hurt anymore and I was VERY relieved.

The area is a bit swollen still but I think it will go down, right?

Thank you Dr. Bhupinder Kaur I really appreciate your reply.

Hello,
From the symptoms it can be an infected hair follicle or a sebaceous cyst. A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac occurring just under the skin which contains a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking substance called keratin. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts.

Generally no treatment is required but they become painful then it means they are infected, Then surgical excision by traditional wide excision, minimal excision, and punch biopsy excision may be required.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
