What Causes Lump On Penis Shaft?

Hi. I'm a 23 yo male without any major medical history. My question is regarding a pea sized lump that I found the other day on the shaft of my penis almost inside the scrotum. I does not hurt unless I examine it, after which it feels a bit sore. I've read a bit online about cysts, could this be something like that. I'd be very grateful for an answer.

Hello
Thanks for query .
Painless lump inside the scrotum is mostly a Sebaceous Cyst on scrotal wall .

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

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment. If needed and quite large it may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac).

This is a simple surgery done under local anesthesia as a out patient procedure and offers permanent cure .

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such lesion or swelling could be sebaceous cyst, basically it need to be excised (Removed) and if it not painful or increasing in size then it can be kept under observation some time it may regressed on its own, but clinical examination is must for final diagnosis, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
