Brief Answer:
Prescription medicines please.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for a proper feedback.
From feedback, your history and the pictures, this looks like a boil/furunculosis with cellulitis.
I would advise you the following:
Since it is present at penis, it is advisable to take a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory under the prescription from your local Doctor.
You may apply Liquid Povidone Iodine locally to keep the area sterile.
Please do not press or try to pop as the inflammation is very easily spread around.

I hope this answer helps you to get an early and complete recovery.
