About a month or two ago I noticed a small
white lump on the left side of my penis
shaft. It was about the size of a grain of
rice, did not hurt, and was quite hard.
Recently (the last few days) it has become
more soft, red, swollen and painful.
I have to say there is no way I picked it
up sexually as my girlfriend and I do not
have intercourse. I DO, however, have oral
sex frequently but neither of us have ever
been with another partner.
Over the last 3 days I have had oral sex 3
times, and have noticed today that the red
lump is beginning to have a purple/black
spot in the middle. I'm thinking that this
could be bruising from a blood vessel
breaking from too much suction.
I have read on the internet about
sebaceous cysts, and have seen they are
harmless but can last several months. Is
there anything I can put on this to make
it go away, or anything I can do? I am 18,
but feel sort of awkward telling my
parents to see if I can go to the doctor ,
and I don't have the money / insurance to
go on my own.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

even though you feel awkward about telling
your parents, if it helps you get the
assistance you need, take it. You dont
want it to be something that may really
make you feel awkward with your partner
later on if its something that can be
taken of quickly.
choose, either feel awkward now with your
parents or feel awkward for the rest of
your life with potentiol new lovers (if
its something serious) but its your pecker
d00d, thats always serious. good luck.

I began to put neosporin on it yesterday
with the thought that it would not do
anything at all because it is not a cut or
scrape or burn. The pharmacist at the
grociery told me to put any ointments in
that area without the consultation of a
doctor first, but I decided to just try it
and if anything bad happened I would
discontinue.
I am surprised to say that after 12 hours
of use (I have applied 3 times) all of the
black area has disappeared, the swelling
has gone done significantly, the redness
is fading, and the biggest surprise... It
looks as it if has opened, revealing a
white, moist, seed like thing (puss
maybe?) and it looks as if it is
draining.
