I have this bump filled with white pus like substance on the shaft of my penis

Hello,

I am a male and I have a strange bump on my penis. I have had this bump like thing on my penis for as long as I can remember. I don't fully know how it got there, but I am embarrassed to go to the doctors to get it looked at. The description of this bump would be that it's located on the left side of my shaft, it's got two openings on the sides of it, both holes are opposite each other with one hole being slightly wider. It is not a circle, but more of an oval shape. The pus that comes from it is almost a mushy texture. I feel like it formed because maybe when I was a child, a small cut appeared and that cut got filled with sweat or something. I have masturbated before and I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it. I have not had sex yet because I don't want this to be an STD, also I feel like the woman would not feel safe with it on my penis. I have stopped masturbating for awhile to see if that was the problem, but the bump doesn't seem to be going away. If someone could help me with this problem it would be very appreciated.

I know things like this can be embarrassing, but it's important to get to the doctor to have this kind of thing checked out if you are worried about it.  Doctors have seen more then you can imagine, so they will be sensitive and just want to get you taken care of- they won't be critical.

Please go to the doctor. I know that it can be very embarrassing at times but this sounds like something that needs to be checked by a professional as soon as possible. Doctors don't judge.
