Could Reddish Bump At The Base Of Penis Be Due To Folliculitis Or Wart?

Do you think one reddish bump at the outside base of my penis is folliculitis or a wart? It has no cauliflowering but no pain. I don t see any puss coming out either. It has been about 10 days now and no worsening. Will it go away or could I have it frozen or lasered off if not?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: folluculiltis/furuncle will have pain and pus will point out

Explanation: A lesion without pain may be a cyst or wart or healing furuncle in its initial stage itself. Your reasoning and understanding is quite correct so, do not do it yourself , go to a dermatologist for examination and further treatment if it doesnot subside on its own.
Good luck .
