Hello,
a few weeks ago, after shaving my genital area, after sex, had a red thickening/swelling appear on the side of my penis. It appeared to be situated under a folicle. I did some research and narrowed it down to either some sort of cyst forming or an infected folicle/clogged pore. Iinitially tried hot towel compressions and squeezing the area. A bit of clear fluid mixed with blood came out and after disinfecting it with rubbing alchohol, i left it alone.
The next morning the swelling was almost completely gone and I was happy but a few days later it came back and was a little sensitive when I tried to squeeze it again. I decided that the pore was blocked and I didnt get everything out the first time so after using a sterilized needle on the pore, i squeezed out as much as i could *this time it was a white/blood puss mixture.
Now the area is getting more swollen, slightly redish tinge to it and I can feel a harder swollen about a centimeter in diameter.
I am in a situation where I am in the US and will have to wait till I get back to Canada to see a doctor. This does not appear like a serious .
issue but I would like some recomendations on what I can try.
