Hi,
It could be a boil( cellulitis) or cyst over the shaft of penis.when you popped it squeezed it comes out pus means there is collection of infection.
You need antibiotics ( cephalosporins or macrolides or quinolones) with analgesics and antiinflammatory drugs for 2 to 3 days course.
No need to worry about this as it may occur anywhere in body
