What Could Be The Sore At The Base Of Penis Which Is Growing In Size?
i have a sore at the base of my penis and its been there for a few weeks but just today it has grown tremendously. It resembles a boil and it hurts like one as well. I just popped it and puss began to ooze out and it had a fowl odor. Please tell me what this could be? I have two more on my inner thigh..

hi
what you described sounds like an infection, possibly treponema
i would suggest you meet a dr locally
to diagnose the case
espeacially since we cannot see the lesions
also try to get culture of the pus like material you have coming out
an identification of the organism may help us decide the antibiotics
a smear examination will be helpful, considering other infections
let us know with the report
best of luck
