    Hard lumps in the hair cluster at the base of the penis may be caused by metabolic abnormalities, sebaceous cysts, swollen lymph nodes, etc. Patients need to go to the hospital for examination to determine the cause and choose an appropriate conditioning plan.

    1. Metabolic abnormalities

    If the patient often eats spicy food and drinks alcohol for a long time, it may cause excessive acidic substances in the body to precipitate, which cannot be excreted through metabolism, resulting in hard lumps in the penis. If there is no obvious discomfort, special treatment is generally not needed. It can be relieved by improving your diet. You should pay attention to a light diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, quit smoking and alcohol, and relieve symptoms.

    2. Sebaceous cyst

    If the androgen content in a man's body is too high, it may lead to strong secretion of sebaceous glands and the occurrence of cysts. These are generally benign lesions and can be treated with erythromycin ointment, Ichthyostatin ointment, fusidic acid cream and other drugs as directed by the doctor.

    3. Swollen lymph nodes

    If the patient does not pay attention to the cleanliness of the private parts, it may cause bacterial and viral infections, leading to swollen lymph nodes and hard lumps. Amoxicillin capsules, levofloxacin tablets, penicillin V potassium tablets and other drugs can be used under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
