this bump has appeared on my penis and im very scared. i am not sexually active but did masturbate the night before this appeared.

this is not the first time. these usually start as a small white bump that last for 6ish months, then will seemingly randomly develop into a large boil like lump. it usually drains on its own within about 4-5 days. i think it might be a lymphocele? its hard to the touch, and the area around the main red bump is also hard as if theres something trapped under the skin. it moves with the skin so i dont think its actually attached to my penis.

if anyone could please help me with this that would be great.

      visited the Dr today, he examined mine and showed your photo too... he said that urs is most likely a sebaceous cyst which is same w mine. He medication but he scheduled me for a surgery nxt week to remove the cyst. he said that nothing to worry. procedure will take 10min with 1 stitch. i am now relieved...

    mine looks like that too, but again it doesnt drained. i will visit a urologist tomorrow and ask what's this. i am anxious and stress out. i abstained and did not masturbate for weeks because whenever I feel it, it's just disturbing. anyway, what are u doing for the lump reduce the size?

    It definitely looks like a sebaceous cyst. It probably was formed by a hair follicle. Glad you have a doctor taking care of it.

    Hi there, i underwent a minor surgery of the sebaceous cyst in my penis shaft. It’s now removed. The urologist made 2 stitches on the skin. Now it looks inflamed, swollen and bumpy. I am worried again that it might not flatten when it dries up or heal. Any idea how long is the healing process? The urologist said that just leave it alone, i only put neosporin, can i also put some wound healing cream? Thanks guys
