What Is The Treatment Procedure For The Removal Of Cysts On The Penis Shaft?

I had an ingrown hair on my penis shaft. And it got infected the hair was removed, but there is a little bump/lump that was left over and it will not go away. I'm pretty sure is a cyst now. So I was wondering if and where I could get it removed. Like what might be the process for the removal. And could a walk in clinic do something like that. because I would like to try to avoid the hospital. I live in Toronto, Ontario. Thanks.

Hello
Thanks for query .Based on your description I would state that you have infected Sebaceous cyst over shaft of the penis.

The penile skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.

Normally it fades away without treatment however it needs to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.If needs to get excised in Toto (Completely along with
the sac) .

This is a simple surgery done under local anaesthesia as a out patient procedure and there is no need to get Hospitalized.
