I've had a surgery and circumcision when I was 9, and there's always been this tiny bump near the stitch under the skin of my penis shaft. Lately, it's swollen, and sometimes there's this white fluid coming out. It's painful if I touch it. I'm kind of worried it might be an infection or something. I'm trying to avoid going to a hospital right now, so I thought I'd ask for advice online first. Any idea what's going on?

Even though you're trying to avoid going to a hospital, if the situation doesn't improve or worsens, it may be necessary to see a healthcare provider. In some cases, an incision and drainage might be needed if there's an abscess or infected cyst. Please monitor the area closely, and if symptoms worsen, do not hesitate to seek medical attention.
