What Causes Painful Lump Under Skin On Penis Shaft?

hello , on the shaft of my penis i had a bead like lump under my skin but not on the hard part of the penis. recently, it has swollen up for a couple of days .It is very painful and then it eventually discharged through the skin. It was a creamy yellow orangish color. the bumb has reduced in size halfway. what do you think this is and what should I do. Also I have been taken amoxacillin because I was scared of infection. I also have very bad jock itch for over a year, my primary physician has given me fluconazole first the cream which made it somewhat bearable but no where near curing it. She then gave me a 7 day systemic fluconazole, but it didn t help at all. I then tried tree oil diluted in oil as well as garlic supplements which helped the most but still no cure. I am currently using sepia 10x shower gel but also no help. Please help I have no insurance and I cannot afford to go to a dermatoligist. Thanks

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history and concerns.
The history says you had a lump in the skin of the penis, you took antibiotics for fear of infection and the lump ultimately opened up giving creamy, yellowish orangish fluid.
So this was a infected sebaceous cyst and may get completely resolved.

Your another concern is the Jock's itch for which you have tried so many things but not amenable.
Actually the problem lies with the temperature in which you stay, work, sleep.
If you can stay from the hot and humid temperature, use really loose clothes, keep the area ventilated, work in AV environment, clean the area with plain water and keep dry with hair dryer can alone heal it up.
This is the only solution.
