How To Treat An Ingrown Hair On The Shaft Of My Penis?

I am a 27 yo male with no signifIcan medical history and I have had an ingrown hair on the shaft of my penis. What should I do? When should I seek surgical drainage. I am very certain that I do not have an STD because I trust my partner for the last eight months?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You could go and see a dermatologist for an antibiotic and antibiotic ointment. It is the most likely an ingrown hair and they usually find their way out but it may take some time.

It is probably still infected and the sebum had accumulated. Picking and squeezing are of no use as you have probably seen it already. There may not be anymore inflammation because it is not painful and sensitive but a course of antibiotics could take care of the bump.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
