I have a wierd red lump when i lift up my penis thats where my penis and sac meet. It only bothers me when i touch because ive been trying to pop it thinking its a pimple. It may be it may not be. Acne looking puss came out when i first noticed it not its just a kinda big red lump and I m a little concerned.
Hello Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have what is called as Sebaceous Cyst near the base of the penis.
The scrotal skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin. Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.
If persists even after taking antibiotics please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment. If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)
