Hello,

Pus-filled bumps on the penile shaft commonly occur due to infection, improper hygiene, friction due to tight fitting clothes, humid climate conditions, folliculitis, razor bumps, blocked or clogged oil glands (sebaceous cysts) sometimes it can be due to STI.

You can apply Hydrocortisone cream for relieving. However, you are recommended to get physically examined & get STD tests done to rule out STI. Your treating doctor may give you ointments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. You may require Corticosteroid injections, antibiotics or antivirals depending upon the severity of the infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K,
