Could Pea Sized Bump At The Base Of Penis Be Ingrown Hair?

I think I have an ingrown hair at the base of my penis. I shave regularly and I heard this may cause the problem. It is a pea sized bump that started like a pimple. I have been married for 20 years so std out of the question. It is not painful but looks very unattractive. Can it be fixed?

Hello
I share your concern, I had gone through your question diligently and I will try to help you out in best possible way

Pus filled pimples on the testis can be caused by infection from urine or stool or multiple sebaceous cyst and can be allergic as well

If you can upload me a photograph and answer my these questions I will be able to help you better
Your age and relevant medical history if any like diabetes or liver disease?
Have you ever had similar problem in past

In my opinion you should see your doctor for physical check up and investigation to rule out infective condition

Meanwhile you can apply antibacterial or antiseptic ointment like mupirocin
Maintain good hygiene
you can take Ibuprofen for pain.
