Should I Be Worried About Large, Painful, Swollen Lump On Penis?

I had an ingrown hair on my penis that was bothering me. I pulled it earlier today and it was fine for a couple of hours but then when I went to the restroom again I noticed it had a head so I squeezed the puss out. Then another hour later there was another head so I squeezed the puss out again. At 2, I went to the restroom because I was feeling uncomfortable and there is now a large, painful, swollen lump on my penis. Is this serious? Did I get an infection somehow or is it just irritated because I was messing with it?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
It is difficult to get any boil on the penis as such. Still if you had pus after draining it ,may be in a different location. Meddling with it can cause swelling and pain as you think. So, please visit a doctor for oral & local antibiotics with anti inflammatory drugs to prevent inflamamtion. All the best.
