Bump on base of penis
by milly093, Oct 10, 2008 12:33AM
Hello, I recently have had rough sex and around 2-3 days later a large deep bump has surfaced around the base of my penis. The bump is around my pubic hair region and has a long pubic hair growing out of it. I do not shave my pubic hairs. I have popped this bump several times and usually a little bit of white pus oozed out followed by a more clear pus. I have had this bump for about 2 days now and it seems to be releasing a more yellowish thick pus now. I have experienced fevers, headaches and a sorethroat recently. The bump seems to be getting smaller now. What is causing this?

From your description, it seems to be a case of folliculitis or perhaps a boil, due to trauma/ infection of the pubic hair follicle. Folliculitis is usually a superficial infection but a boil may indicate a deeper infection. The cause is generally staph bacteria. The boils get filled with pus and may finally rupture and drain. You should consult your doctor, who may prescribe a topical antibiotic or a warm compress for relief of pain depending on the severity of your infection.
Take care
