Hello,
About a month ago I noticed a very small peeling on the skin on top of my penile shaft. I peeled it off and touched the area and it stung a little bit. I then noticed a couple of days later that a very small, liquid filled lump appeared in the area and I assumed that whatever I did to it was just healing or something. I then noticed a couple of days later, the lump grew about 3 times the size and it became inflamed and very sensitive to the touch. I took a shower that day and the lump started to bleed and a very small amount of puss came out, so I cleaned the area with rubbing alcohol. Over time, the area seemed to be healing. A week later the lump began to swell up again and I just assumed that maybe it was because I stopped cleaning the area with alcohol, so I started doing that again and the lump started to bleed again, but this time there was no puss. I began cleaning the area with alcohol for the next 3-4 days till it seemed like it was well on it's way to healing again. For the next 2 weeks everything seemed to be fine. There was a little mark in the area but it wasn't swelling up again or showing any signs of an inflammation until a couple of days ago when the lump appeared yet again. It wasn't as inflamed or as sensitive the first couple of times it appeared, but I'm definitely concerned now. I woke up the morning and I noticed that the area was bleeding. I'm going to make an appointment with my doctor as soon as possible, but what could this be? I'm not too worried about it since I'm not sexually active, but there is definitely something wrong in the area.

It could be an insect sting
