A member asked:

Today i saw a medium sized bump right where my penis starts. it is small not easily visable and it hurts a bit when i touch it. dont remember hitting ?

Can't be sure: It sounds like an infected hair follicle - over the next few days, when you're in the shower, see if you can apply some heat with a wash cloth and squeeze some pus out of it? It will hopefully heal in a week or so.
