I have a (what it looks like) puss filled bump near the base of the penis on the shaft. Painful to touch and iv had it for about 5 days now. It's not large but it's not small either. Iv been checked in the past for STDs and I was negative. That was about 5 months ago. Any answers or suggestions are greatly appreciated as it hurts to wear underwear and move around
Hi Guest,
It very well could be a pimple or zit, or a sebaceous cyst (clogged oil gland).
They are VERY common on the genitals and often look more pronounced due to the skin being thinner than in other places on your body.
Treat it as you would any pimple. Keep it clean and as dry as possible.
