Suggest Treatment For A Painful Bump On The Penis Shaft Of A Child

Hi - I noticed that my 13-month old son had a white bump under the skin on the shaft of his penis. It is almost the size of a dried lentil, Doesn t seem to be hard. It is not pimple-like, but rather something that looks like it is right under the skin. It is especially prominent when he has a small erection because he has to urinate.
