I had this large lump randomly appear that was uncomfortsblebspecialy on my penis. I had a nice hot salt bath two days in arrow plus a shower after. The second hot bath I held a hand full of salt and squeezed it up against the hard lump. For the duration of the bath. At the end it seemed sensitive so I squeezed all while in the hot salt bath. After finally squeezing one last time it popped crazily soo much puss with blood. Finally I saw a long hair which I failed at getting before going back inside. After a few hours of doing chores. I checked and used tweezers jut when I pulled it was over inch and a bit long at that point it started feeling like the hair was slissing something inside my penis which started bleed a lot. After awhile blood stopped but there is a black dot in the crater left behind
So I've had the displeasure of dealing with this before... Had it about 3 times now and im 26- the most recent being the absolute worst. I can tell you im quite certain it was caused by a blocked pore (manscaping then wearing the same sweaty boxers 2 days in a row without showering and also sitting in traffic for 4 hours in sweltering heat with no A/C... Long story here). The best advice I can suggest is preventing them in the first place! Dont do what I did, shower often and exfoliate a little after manscaping if you do this.
My recent nightmare was worsened by the fact that I tried to pop the massive ingrown hair without success and made it bleed slightly the first day. On day 2 (after walking around feeling like some one was pinching my shaft all day at work) I showered and exfoliated and when I got out of the shower attempted to pop again as it seemed like it had dried and cracked slightly in the center. An overwhelming amount of pus and a little blood came out finally and I felt a giant sense of relief. The issue was when I popped it the hole was large that the pus came out of- a result of failing at the first squeeze attempt. I am now relieved and the lump is gone however I know have a creepy crater mid shift thats about 2mm wide. Im hoping it closes and heals soon and doesnt get infected. I cleaned it a little with Iodine and make sure to shower once or twice a day now. It appears to be getting smaller now but I hope it heals soon. I want to mention that hanky panky was attempted this morning (Id normally refrain but again long story here...) I was really hoping to avoid this so I made sure to make it enjoyable for both parties with as little penetration as possible, catch my drift? I then showered and clean with gauze and Iodine and everything seemed fine so far although I would HIGHLY recommend not doing this until healed.
My question is whether or not to bandage it? With this make the wound too moist to heal? Im trying to stay clean and not sweat too much in order to promote healing and im also taking Vitamin C (promotes wound healing). Any thought? Apologies for the graphic stuff....
Also I would highly recommend seeing your doc about this kind of stuff- a lot of terrible advice out there but this has been helpful. If I could do it all over I would use a sterile scalpal or pin (STERILE AS f**k- no one wants a nasty infection problem on their favourite organ) and do everything in my power to prevent the issue. This is more common win men with dark and thick curly hair. Manscaping can be dangerous! Shave with the grain and exfoliate! It sounds crazy to use a scalpel (probably able to purchase at your local pharmacy) but if it is large enough and truly bothering you- a tiny slit should provide relief and speed the process up just be careful.
I pulled the skin with the lump and I put a small torch behind it. The skin was so thin that I could actually see where the hair is. Got a needle, sterilized it and after 5 minutes of trying, I got the hair out. It's not as scary and painful as it sounds I swear. If you already tried squeezing it, you should already have a hole that you can put the needle through.
Good luck fellas!
