What Causes A Lump On The Pubic Area?

Hi, im 22 and i was recently shaving my pubic region when i noticed a lump in the skin to the left of my penis. It s location, if it helps, is aligned with the shaft of the penis on the left side. not quite in the crevice of the skin between the leg and penis. Alarmed i felt it and it feels odd, i gave it a slight squeeze and some puss came out, not an extreme amount but almost like a good sized zit for example. the lump is hard and quite painful now. It s the size of a large pea and i m quite alarmed, it was not painful until i had squeezed it, and i have no idea how long its been ther for, most likely recent. Please any information can help.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it could be infective lesion and it might be boil only but chances of abscess formation need to be ruled out and for that better to treat the lesion with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs and best would be "Tab Amoxicillin 500 mg" three times in day and Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg" three times in day, keep the area clean with antiseptic lotion, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
