What Is The Remedy For The Red Inflamed Bump At The Base Of The Penis?
Male
22
Roughly 5ft 10-11inches height
Weigh approximately 155-160lb
Recently prescribed Dexedrine (Dextro-amphetamine sulfate) upon diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Had sex - woke up next morning with a bump (Cyst, swollen nodule(?)) at the base of the penis where the pubic hairs reside.
1week passes - Impatience growing - Had sex again - bump still there.
Squeezed bump(uncut/unopened) - turns inflamed (red, swollen)----Bump appears to be roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of an inch in diameter.
Considering creating very small incision on bump in order to drain whatever fluids inside.
(Concerns: Unknown cause --- Fear of it being cancerous, staph-infection, or indicative of a larger issue)
Thought: I wonder if this is related to Vasoconstriction brought on by Stimulant medication.

Hi,
It may be folliculitis. An infection of the hair root. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take a short course of antibiotic like cefixime 200 mg twice a day along with an antiinflammatory drug like brufen. Apply antibiotic cream. Keep the hygiene in good condition by washing the area with diluted savlone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
