A member asked:
Sebaceous cyst or syphilis? woke up with large closed lump on penis. it was painful to pop and blood came out. looks like a chancre after being popped
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abscess: Chancres don't pop and sebaceous cysts don't swell rapidly or hurt suddenly. Let's shower twice a day for a while and consider a god antibacterial soap. If this gets worse or starts to spread, get seen.
