    Bumps or lumps that appear near the base of the penis are very common, most have a very simple explanation such as a blocked skin pore or ingrown or blocked hair follicle - most appear in the area where pubic hair is present, or it could be a harmless cyst

    Can you post a picture ..... ?

      ... penile cyst's are not harmful, leave it alone and it will go in its own time - this can take best part of a year in some cases - if it is irritated by handling it will grow in size ..
