Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the symptoms that you have the bump on shaft of the penis filled with pus is due to Staphylococcal infection of hair follicle (Boil) with surrounding edema of the subcutaneous tissue .

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefotaxime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water and Betadine twice daily.

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.

It should get cured within a week failing which you will need to consult qualified General surgeon and get it incised and drained .
