looks like your boy has a preputial gland abscess.  You can start with sitz baths in the sink to help bring the pus to the surface.  A few inches of warm/hot water in a sink where he can sit for a few minutes (wear long sleeves to prevent getting scratched and have a towel ready nearby even before going to get him.  This can really move it along and once its open and draining, you can flush it with isotonic saline twice a day until its healing up near the surface.  Very RARELY if you notice that its not staying flush with the body and growing up and out you may be dealing with a preputial gland tumour.  I just wanted you to know about it prior just in case.  These usually resolve really well with this treatment.  No vet needed.
