Is it normal to have pus-filled bump on penis that is itchy?
human
Hi for the past few days I began to notice a small bump on my foreskin a little behind the head of the penis. Then after a few days it began to itch a little so I scratched it until the itching sensation would go away. After time it swelled a little almost like a pimple or zit. I tried to pop it like you would on anywhere else on the body and I notice a little white pus come out of the tiny bump. A couple of days later, the tiny bump reappeared with a little pus. Is this an infection or is it normal?

Hello!Thank you for the query.No it is not a normal thing. Bump filled with pus is usually a sign of local skin infection. If its close to the hair, follicle inflammation is most possible.  It may happen to every person and usually does not cause any further problems. However if after draining it, no improvement, please consult dermatologist with it. Sometimes hard healing bumps can be a symptom of elevated blood sugar level.In a meanwhile please keep it clean.Hope this will help.Regards.
