Large Painful Lump On Base of Penis Shaft
Posted , 4 users are following.
First of all, I want to make clear (for a better diagnosis) that I have not had sexual intercourse with anyone, which rules out the possibility of anything caused by such.
About a week ago, I suddenly found a large lump (diameter ~1.2cm, heigh ~0.8cm) that is painful to the touch. While it pains a little when pressure is applied, it is rather painful if squeezed. It does not have any particular color; marginally reddish, but that's all. I would like to know what kind of symptom this is, and if leaving it be is the best solution (so that it can slowly fade away). While I do not remember clearly, I recall that its formation was very sudden; less than 24h, I would say.
Thank you in advance for any advice.

If it is then [although medical advice would probably be "leave it alone"] if you bathe it with hot salt water [1 teaspoon to a pint] you may persuade it to burst and it will go away.
If worried see a doctor

Hello
I recently developed the same symptom.
A bean size lump on the right side of base of penis shaft. I noticed a pain in that area while i wash bathing. Then I noticed the lump. I am sure it developed in around 24hrs.
It's painful and I can't even wear tight underwear. I usually workout 5-6 days a week. But i am afraid as I can't run becuase of it. I can't even think of squats now.
Please help.
What happened to your lump ?
Did you have to see the doctor?
What did you doctor say then?

update:
It was nothing to worry about.
I went to see a doctor. He said it is just an ingrown hair. Follicle hair infection. Gave me some antibiotics and it's healing now.
