Hi Doctor 3 Days Ago I Have Realized A Small
Question: Hi doctor
3 days ago I have realized a small circular bump on my penil skin shaft
I’m confused if it’s a pimple or a cyst or cancer.
It is not painful when I touch it but feels tender
What can this be ?
How can I exclude cancer ?

Brief Answer:
Topical and oral antibiotic
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It does not seem like cancer.
It could be an inflamed cyst or it seems most likely a furuncle, which is a skin and soft tissue infection. I suggest you apply an OTC topical antibiotic e.g either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin 2% ointment, twice daily. Prescription based oral antibiotics like Cephalexin or Amoxicillin can also be tried.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if you need any more assistance
