Hi, I have a problem. I am 24 year old caucasian male.
Past: 1,5 year ago a boil - carbuncle formed on my penis, popped after 4 days, I used framykoin for a week and it went away. Month later molluscum contagosium formed right above penis, stayed like that for 2 weeks, then doc burned it off with liqud hydrogen, and gave me betadine to use. It healed within 2 weeks.
Now:11 days ago a bump appeared on my penis, near foreskin.I thought it was a boil which I had before, so I kept applying Framykoin 2x1 for 5 days, it kept drying the bump.Then visited urologist, he tried to pop it but it was unpoppable, he told me to stop using framykoin and let it heal by itself. Well, I decided to use betadine instead (I am on 3rd day now).
Symptoms: Bump hurts when I put pressure on it, and hurts only very slightly when idle. Bump was itching during first week as well, but only little bit.There is no visible head, it is approximately 10x7 mm big, dome shaped, when I tighten skin on penis, it becomes a visible bump, and is shiny. It is more like purple/red. There is no visible head and is unpoppable and is kind of firm when squeezed (but top is soft). Also, after 2-3 days I found out lymph node was swollen near groin area and I had feverish symptoms (but that could have been due to fact that I also have been using internally for 7 days oregano oil, since the bump appeared, and oregano oil is strong natural antibiotic). It is certainly not herpes, I do not have those, and symptoms look nothing like it. I hope it is not a cancer either, we do not have it in family (so chances are reduced). It also cannot be an STD, since I have been only with my GF, and am certain she has been with nobody else but me.
Pictures:
1.Bump this morning, it had a slight scab formed. Skin is in normal state.
2.I pulled the skin with fingers. Bump is visible and dome shaped. Slight scab is visible.
3.I washed penis&bump,and let it dry. Picture taken when skin is idle this evening.
4.Pulled skin, sun shining on bump, so it is very visible.Close up picture. There is difference in light during first+second, and third+fourth picture.
Please, what could it be? Furuncule, Carbuncule, Molluscum contagosium, inflamed sebaceous gland or cyst, or something else? Thanks. I am desperate :(
