What Causes A Painless Red Bump On The Penis Shaft?

Hey Doc, About a week and a half ago i noticed a single red bump on my penile shaft. It is painless, red, and was pus filled. It s pretty small and doesn t bother me. I put ichthammol on it which is just a drawing solvent that i thought might help.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be a small abscess. Consult a general surgeon and get it drained.

You can also apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin also. A short course of antibiotics can also be tried.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
