Large Growing Bump On Lower Shaft Leaking Pus While Squeezing. What Is It?

Hi I have large red dot the size of a dress button on my lower shaft. I has grown bigger since I first noticed it, the bump is hardish and leaks pus if I squeeze it but only a little. I don't know if this is a problem but hopefully you can find out.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,
after reading your query it appears that you have the condition of Molluscum contagiosum.

It is a viral born problem occurring after unprotected intercourse. You can consult a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. The bump will be simply cauterized with either a chemical or a electro- cautery machine.

DO not try to squeeze or pinch the bump as it can lead to further spread and secondary infection.

You can apply mupirocin cream or fucidin cream over the affected area for the time being period.

Take acre.
