What Could Be The Lesion On The Shaft Of The Penis That Was Formed After Popping The Abscess?

Hi about a week ago I noticed a bump in te shaft of y penis like a pimple/ ingrown hair. So I popped it a few time and it formed a lesion now it seems like it's clearing up but Wouk. Still like to know what it may be. I don't think it is herpes because I've even with te same girl or awhile and she has been checked recently and were both clean and healthy. I'm wondering if it caused it because I didn't take a shower after sex a few time and went straight to work. Would like to see what u think it may be

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have what is called as infected sebaceous cyst over shaft of the penis.

The penile skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.

Normally these cyst fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily for aweek.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily .
