What Causes Hard Movable Lump Under The Penis?

There is a small bb like pimple under the surface skin of my penis about half way up. When I was a teen I had similar ones checked out (a little bigger than a needle head) at the base of my penis where my pubic hair was growing and was assured it was fine and there was nothing to worry about. Three weeks ago I had unprotected sex and have just realized this one greater in size where no pubic hair is growing which raised my concern. It moves with my skin, does not get irritated, is slightly shiny (to which I presume is due to the skin above it it is stretching), causes no pain, and is really only an eye sore. I do not notice if the others go away because of their size and non concern to my health. Is their a treatment for this one? Should I give it 2-4 weeks to work itself out? Should I get an HPV test? Thank you in advance for your time.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Exact diagnosis made by doctor and require examination
I think it is enlarged lymph node due to STDs like gonorrhea and syphilis or sebaceous cyst or calcified plaque.


Do test for STD screening: PCR, NAAT, Cell culture, ELISA
CBC, ESR
Urine routine and microscopic examination
Biopsy if needed

Meanwhile take following advice:
Maritain hygiene
Avoid sex till you get better
Tablet cefuroxime
Tablet ibuprufen
Warm pad compression
Do not pop up the lump
Wear loose pure cotton inner wear
Hope this may help you

Best regards
Dr. Sagar
