A member asked:

I have a pink bump, just above half a cm in width on the base of penis, pus sometimes comes out if squeezed, what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See answer: Likely an infected hair follicle, epidermal inclusion cyst, or sebaceous cyst which are not uncommon in that area. If a recurring problem, may require excision to remove the entire cyst if that is the cause.
