strange bump on penis
I recently found a bump on the glans of my penis. About a week and a half ago, it appeared no pain. The bump looked segmented, but not warty per say. It matched the texture of my penis head, but just raised. After a few days a tiny scab appeared in the center and the next day the whole top layer of skin peeled off easily. It left a lower red version of the same bump. Two days later after using the toilet, assuming It scraped the seat, i noticed that the bump had burst and there was pus coming out of it. I drained it and the layer of skin peeled off again, leaving an open almost sore looking spot, with no blood and clear puss draining out of it. Masturbating reopened it, so after abstaining form masturbation for a day or two, the the bump reformed. Whenever it reopens it takes time to reheal. Recently the bump has dried, shrunk and hardened, but after taking a shower it gets soft and white. Anyway, so Ive just been confused. I havent had penetrative sex at all, but i recently recieved oral from several partners and a hand job from a man who used the same hand and lube he used on his penis. I went to a clinic and they said it didnt look like HPV or herpes, but this was is the sore stage as opposed to a bump so i dont know if that matters. Theres a dull pain on the spot now when touched or rubbed, but it looks smaller than originally.
you will have to build a tool shed first - even more to keep you busy!!! all that sweating in this tropical weather pattern we are stuck in though is just gonna make a fungal infection go wild!!
try the aquaphor and if it's not better in a week, be sure to see your provider. might be a humdinger of a fungal infection if it's not just irritation that won't let up.

Lol and it'll keep me out of situations where I have to ask questions like this!
I hereby sign up to be your permanent gardener! You can keep me in your tool shed if you want lol
The skin is looking kinda normal now (dry bit normal ish). It's still painful when it runs agains anything though And it sends pain through my stomach at times.

Yes!! No more picking! No masturbation or anything in that area! It's a hands free zone! Lesson learned that under a skin problem isn't a magical layer of healthy skin, rather its simply a different version if the same problem!
It's still sore to the touch or rub but I'll associate that with the inherit pain of peeling something of of yor skin as oppose to the bump itself
Thank you for all your help!!

stop picking and prodding and peeling off skin!!!
correct, warts don't have pus inside unless you poke and prod and cause irritation/infection .

Thank you very much! I've been on a hands off policy for now. The bump was looking extra soft after a shower, so I peeled it off, and again it looked flatter, but mostly the same. In going to keep my hands off completely now until it heals. Hopefully soon.
Warts do not have pus correct? So the fact that it had that sort if discharge at some point rules that out as an option right?

this isn't likely to be a recently acquired std, if it is one at all. mutual masturbation isn't a risk.
I'd avoid all contact with your penis for a week ( except for aiming to pee of course ) and give this skin time to heal. I'd even try using aquaphor ointment on the area that is bothersome twice a day too to soothe and protect it and help it heal. If it continues to open up after that, certainly time for further follow up.

Hey, sorry for the delay!
No testing on that day. She just looked at it and decided it didn't match any symptoms she's familiar with. Should I go back?
I got a syphillis test and I'm waiting for the result now
