Hello
Thanks for query.
You have what is called as Sebaceous Cyst over base of the penis.

The skin in genital area is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.
Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

If needed it may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with
the sac)
