Reddish swollen tender lump on the penis. Infected hair follicle? Treatment?
human
I have a red swollen bump where the shaft of my penis starts to grow hair. I am overweight , so a skin fold forms there. The bump sometimes has hair growing out of it, and is tender to touch, but does not burn or itch. I have ha. It looked at by my GP, and she said it was an infected hair follicle . It seems when the weather warms up, it comes back. I have an issue squeezing and taking tweezers to the bump when they occur, which seems to make them worse. Any idea?
