What Causes A Lump Towards The Base Of The Penis?

I am a 22,male .Actually i got a bump on my skin of penis towards the base. Then it increased in size for 4 -5 mm and become red and then ruptured with 5-6 drops of blood. I washed it with shavlon and applied neosporin ointment . but today after 2days i found the skin of scrotum just below that wound became redish ( i can see very few blood within skin) and senitive also . I think it to be some liquid or blood accumulation. I am getting scared , what should i do now.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The bump could be from superficial skin infection. It can be bacterial infection usually from staphylococcus. Neosporin cream can be applied over that. But upper portion of testis also involved so your physical examination should be done to check whether epididymis infection like presentation is positive or not. USG scan local part done If needed. Consult urologist for examination and discuss further management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
