Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Threre are many cause of the pus filled bump on the penis some of them are herpes, chancroid, granuloma inguinale etc.

Exact nature of the infection can only be known once the Grams staining is done from the pus aspirated from it.

The etiological agent of the each infection varies and so there treatment. Some are viral requires antiviral drugs and some are bacterial requires antibiotics.

In all the situations please avoid further intetcourse or you can do protected intetcourse with condom.

If your partner is having the same infection than both the partner should be treated simultaneously.

Good hygiene maintenance is the key in all the infections if you maintian it, half of your infection will be treated as such.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
