Weird pimple?
by jonnyko, Jun 18, 2009 11:56AM
Hello Dr.
About two months ago, I woke up with a small pimple on the shaft (sideway) of my penis. Couple days later, it grew in size (became about 0.5 inches wide). Very ichy and painful to touch. About a week later, it became filled with pus and when you look at it, it look like it has an "red eye" in the middle. Finally, it exploded while I was taking a shower and all the pus came out.
Two months later, it is still there but very small and more looking like a scar. It appears like a bump when the penis is not erected and when erected, it became hard to see although still there.
I am 22 and I have not had sex before of any kind. What this could be ? Will a Bacitracin Ointment helps to remove it ? Thanks.

From the symptoms it sounds like a boil. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. . Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle.
Pls 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.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.
Hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
Again, thanks for your help.
If you are having Bacitracin ointment,then it should work.No need to but any other antibiotics cream.
Hope it helps.Take care and regards.
