infected cyst on penis. help?!
Question: Infected cyst on penis. help?
about two days ago it burst, and pus came out of it. I managed to get rid of most of it, but that's not the part that troubles me. now. It's swollen to about the size of a pea, in the centre it's a creamy olive colour and the skin around it has gone red. When i touch it it hurts. I think because of these symptoms it might just be infected. I'm really tempted to burst it again and see what happens but I don't want to make it worse.
I can't talk about it to my parents because it would just make me feel incredibly awkward. I can't talk about it to a doctor because not only would I feel embarrassed I wouldn't know how to get an appointment and find the time to go to it without my parents finding out. And I can't talk to my friends about it because they would laugh.
can anybody suggest what I should do? is there some sort of cream I can use, or method to get rid of it? I've heard that if you remove the big ones the smaller ones disappear aswell. I'd rather just have them all gone but this one is more urgent.
Cheers in advance.
Answers:
These sound like Fordyce's spots.
80% of adult men have them.
Harmless as long as you leave them alone.
Don't like being burst.
Yeah = it may be infected, dab on some Dettol or sim.
you can put boil stikky plaster on it.
Should heal up hopefully
if not find dummy reason to ask for doctor's appt.
and see doc alone then say real reason.
Doctor won't be embarrassed.

If there is an infection near your penis and it gets worse, better not hesitate to go to the doctor!
Really. I am serious. When I was 12 I had an infection near the end of the penis. It got worse and worse and when I got to the doctor it was too late. They had to amputate most of my penis. (No that is NOT a joke)
Go to the hospital and see the doctor.
penis is very important for you.
No kidding.
First of all dont try to burst it you will make it even worse. The same thing happened to me a week ago. I got it near my penis. But thank god it went away in three day. If the bumps are postule like then there is no reason to worry as the go away themselves. But if they are not you should go to a doctor.
No one here can give you the correct advice. Go to a doctor if you dont want to tell this to your parents then go alone. But dont neglect it.
