Fluid Filled Reddish Spot Under The Penis. Is This A Sebacious Cyst?
I noticed a red spot on the underside of my penis last week. I have had these before and either popped them or they have gone away on their own. I squeezed this one and it popped but no liquid came out and it kjnd of deflated a little.it is between the scrotum and penis and i think on the vein on the underside of the shaft. It has been a week now and it is still red and due to me constantly checking and touching it is possibly getting bigger again. Is this a sebacious cyst? I have since read online that you should not squeeze them or they will become infected.what should i do?thanks

greetings.
scrotum and area around is having higher predilection for sebaceouc cyst.
the way you are describing it,it does look like sebaceous cyst.
but the visual diagnosis is a must.
also you should try to keep hygiene of that part and do not scratch or rub that area with your hands as itt can infect the cyst which then can act little notorious.
else it will heal on
its own.
