What Causes A Red Bump On The Penis Shaft?

So today I noticed 1 red/pink dot on the shaft of my penis. It doesn t hurt unless poked. I ve never had sex. It popped up very quickly I only noticed it a couple of hours ago. It looked like there was white puss coming out of it so I squeezed it out what could this be? Should I be worried?

Hello,

It could be a small abscess or folliculitis. As a first line management you can apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin for symptomatic relief. If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

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