Suggest Treatment For Hard Lump On The Right Side Of The Penile Shaft
Hi, I had a circumcision on the 16th and everything seems to be healing well until I noticed a hard lump start to develop three days ago on the right hand side of the penile shaft. I wash the area daily and have used a cotton wool bud under the head of the glans to prevent smegma build up and to keep the area clean but the smell is quite pungent after about twelve hours, please advise.

Hi. You need to show this to the operating surgeon just in case of a problem he can diagnose the best and treat accordingly.
Anyway, This looks to be a just granuloma due to stitch or a small collection .May need antibiotic. Always use locally liquid povidone iodine ( betadine).
