Small painful bump on rod of penis

image

I came back from work and I noticed a bump on the road of my penis, it hurts it feels like a pimple but I don't see a white head. I don't have clusters and I haven't been sexually active since the start of the year. Please what is this

please someone help me

looks like an ingrown hair.

Update bump has gotten bigger and red and painful, it appears to be an ingrown hair that I plucked from pubic hair. Very painful. I'm hoping and praying

did anything come out of it when you plucked it puss or anything?

I haven't plucked it, I just left it alone. I just noticed it the other day. If I leave it alone will it go away on its own???

as long as the hair has been removed and it does not get infected. use a warm compress to loosen it up and clean tweezers to pull it. wash with dial disinfected bar soap.

I've been running it under warm water everyday, I looked at it today and I noticed it has a small whitehead on it

thats good news. herpes and warts dont have puss filled bumps. continue to clean with antibacterial soap, dont pop it.

thank you so much! I was beginning to be worried. Thank you!! 😊

your welcome!

I noticed its healing, is it normal for it to look a bit dry were the skin expanded?? it looks slightly crusty, I haven't put any oils on it because I don't want to irritate it

image this is how it looks after I took a shower

still looks like the hair is in there try to pluck it.

the whitehead has disappeared, now I'm back worried again 😔

ok, before I took a shower the skin appeared to be dry around it, now the whitehead I saw this morning disappeared. I'm continuing to run warm water on it daily, letting it self heal

if it turns into an open sore then go get checked. sounds like a typical ingrown hair to me.

ok, I don't see any open sore. But I will keep my eye on it

image here's a photo I've taken this morning, no open sores but it looks flesh like red, Is this normal during the healing process of an ingrown hair? The bump is almost gone completely only the stretched flesh skin is left
