As per ur description its better u take C.DOXYCYCLINE 100mg as u have inflammation over penis with tender nodes.Possibility of STD has to be ruled out.
Either picture has to be shared or consult a DERMATOLOGIST and then SURGEON

Hi
As the swelling is painful it is probably a lymph node which is secondary to the inflammation u described on ur glans penis.
This is to be examined physically to determine the cause of the inflammation.
If ur comfortable pls do share a picture

It’s very important to be examined by a surgeon to asses whether it’s a lymph node or hernia. So would suggest you to meet a general and laparoscopic surgeon.
