Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have painful hard lump near base of the penis.
This could be either boil or a sebaceous cyst. However this can be confirmed only on clinical examination .
Consult qualified surgeon or urologist for to confirm the diagnosis .
You need to take antibiotic for a week. Get the prescription from your family Physician.
It should subside in a week.
