What Causes Swollen Lump On The Penis?
My 4 year old son, has what appears to be a bug bite on the shaft of his penis. It has a white center and a red swollen lump right below the head. He is not complaining of pain but he does say it itches. Is this something that should be seen by a doctor???

Hello
Thanks for query .
Your 4 years old son seems to have infected sebaceous cyst over penis .
He needs to be given antibiotic Ciprofloxacin twice daily for a week ..
If does not subside consult qualified general surgeon for clinical assessment .It may need to be excised in Toto.
