I Have A Lump On My Penile Shaft. Its Not
Question: I have a lump on my penile shaft. Its not painful and its the same colour of the skin. Its been there for years now but I just started to worry about it lately because I think it grew bigger. Not sure if it did or my mind is just playing tricks with me. What do you think it is and what ways can I get rid of it.
Brief Answer:
Possibly a cyst on penis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
It would be better if you attach a photo of the lump for me in reports.
I think it can be a cyst according to your description of a painless lump, with the same colour and texture as other parts that has grown recently.
Anyway you may need to go to an urologist to examine it physically and check it.
You can put warm compresses on it and massage gently in order to help it drain.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
