Hi, welcome to HCM. I am Dr Alok Sinha, MD, from India. I will try my best to answer your question.

The base of penis is surrounded by many hair follicles. It appears that you have hair follicle infection. As you told there is a black dot in the centre of the inflamed area which shows that there is an uprooted hair which got infected. It is a very painful condition because inflammation produces pain producing substances. Don't try to pop it out as it may further aggravate the problem and even pus would have not built till the time.
You must visit a physician nearby who may examine you well and prescribe you some antibiotic and analgesic medicines for cure.

I hope it answers your query. I wish you a good health.
