Very hard small spot under the skin on my penis?

Posted , 2 users are following.

hi, about a year ago I found a very small and extremely hard spot on my penis, it never hurt or changed in size but yesterday I thought I wonder if I can pop that, well I couldn't and I seem to have irritated it and it has got a little bigger and red.

can I post a pic here?

I'm new here so I hope I have put this in the correct place.

    Richard, you can only post pictures on here if you are over 18. So you can drag and drop, copy and paste into the text box - if you type your text first, then press the Return Button of the keyboard a couple of times - you can also use the "Insert Image" icon button, 7th Button from right at top of active text box, then link to a file. It is best you do this on a PC or a Laptop or Mac, rather than a mobile device.

    What you likely have is a penile cyst - and yes they can take an awful long time to go away - I had one recently and I must have had it for way in excess of 7 months+. Unfortunately as you have aggravated it it may be there for another 6 months plus - it is best to just leave them alone, make sure you do not scratch at it or otherwise irritate it further, then suddenly (yeah, endless months later) they just seem to disappear .....

      If you have a cyst under the surface level of your penile skin it does not look very large, often they are much bigger that this and can make the penis look disfigured.

      The skin on the surface has never broken, been inflamed or look really poor in any way ...... ?

      In terms of will it be ok, if it is actually a cyst all you can do is leave them alone and eventually they fade away ...........
