Bump With Hair On The Shaft Of Penis. White Paste Like Liquid Under The Scab On Bump. No Pain. Concerning?
2 days a bump started a appear on the shaft of my penis where hair also grows there. The bump had a hair on it thought it was an ingrown hair but when you touch it, it hurts not much just a tad bit. This morning I woke up it had a scab on it and then it fell off. Now underneath the scab there is this white paste looking liquid like its solid but it is not, it just stays there and it does not hurt anymore when I touch it. I put some ointment on it to see if it will heal up. Would like to know what it is.
Folliculitis (also known as "Hot Tub Rash") is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles. The condition may occur anywhere on the skin with the exception of the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. They may appear as red dots firstly and then increase in size to become red , hot, tender pus filled lesions. Avoid touching it too much. Avoid using any kind of cold dreams or hair oils as it might increase the lesion.
You can start using any topical antibiotic/antiseptic cream like mupirocin cream over the lesion If it persists even after using the cream for 2-3 days, then you might need a course of oral antibiotics. Take some pain killers along for relieving the associated pain and discomfort.
Hi. It seems that you are having milia with bacterial infection. Milia is a benign disease. It is a small cystic lesion of skin with whitish keratinous material. In your case it is infected with bacteria. Take a short course of antibiotics. Apply antibiotic cream. Take sitz bath in dettol water. Do not rupture or scratch the lesion. After healing the lesion curretage or electrocautery may be done for permenant cure by dermatologist. So, you contact dermatologist.. Have perfect diagnosis and take perfect treatment...
Regards.
