I'm really worried and need some advice. Out of nowhere, a big bump or pimple showed up on the shaft of my penis, and it's causing a lot of pain whenever something touches it. Could you please help me understand what's going on? Is this something serious? I'm quite concerned.

It sounds like you may be experiencing an inflamed or infected pimple on your penis shaft. This can be caused by various factors such as poor hygiene, friction, or a bacterial infection. To help reduce the pain and inflammation, you can try using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and keeping the area clean and dry. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection such as pus or increasing redness, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
