What Causes Painful Bump On Shaft Of Penis?

how you doing? ive had this bump on the shaft of my penis right under the head and i when i noticed the bump it had been over a year since i been sexually active and it never hurts sometimes i forget its there until ive been aroused and yesterday i had to pee and i felt the bump and it sent a quick minor pain and it went away immediately it wasnt painful or anything just enough to make me check it out and so i looked it up and it said that bumps can form from masturbation and its nothing to worry about and also pimples and im active in sports and i occasionally miss a shower so i was messing with it today wondering if it was a pimple and the area i touched puss came out so i squeezed it and more came out and i did this for about 15 mins and quit a bit came out and a little while ago i did the same thing and some more came out and theres still a lump there so im here cause i want you to clarify if its really a pimple or something else but nothing to worry about

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi. Its most likely a sebaceous cyst and would not trouble you. But now that you have punctured it there is a chance that it might get infected. So I suggest that you keep it clean and dont disturb it any more. Would be preferable to see a Surgeon or your GP who might want to start you on an antibiotic medicine course.
Take care and do let us know if there are any otger queries we can help you with.
