What Causes Pimple On Shaft Of Penis?

I haven t had sex of no kind in about several years and all of a sudden I wake up one morning and I have what looks like a huge pimple on the shaft of my penis I am not worried about STD because one has to have sexual relations. Today I was working out side and it popped so I go into the shower and this white stuff is coming from it and I squeezed all of the white stuff until blood was coming out. I put hydrogen peroxide and cleaned it until no more foam was evident. So I put triple antibiotic ointment on it and a lose bandage. But it is swollen now like if you would pop a pimple on your face how it swells. Do you think its infected and need antibiotics??

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: It may be a cyst/folliculitis if it is painful

Explanation: Commonest causes of pimple like swelling in that area are folliculitis and cyst. Applying Hydrogen peroxide will harm your skin rather than doing good. Antibiotic ointment can help you but please visit a doctor to get yourself examined and to find out whether it is a cyst or furuncle/folliculitis.
Good luck
