Brief Answer:
need more details - you need to see a doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thank you for using HCM to ask for an answer of your query!

In order to have a more thorough idea of your husband and your concern, I would need to have some more information.

What do you mean with a "shaped oval knot"?
Is it in an area where you can provide a photo of the knot?
Where is it localized exactly- tip, body of the penis, foreskin?
Is it painful?
Does he have other symptoms like discharge, itchiness, redness?
For how long have you noticed it? Any similar problems before?
Do you have any concern or problem?

In general it should not be there. It is not common at all to have changes like that in the penis (from what I am understanding).
If you can not provide a photo...yes, the best option would be to see a local doctor so he evaluates all the answers of the questions I addressed above, and more then that, considers a swab of it depending on how it looks, and other necessary labs.

So my main advise is...yes, you should see a local doctor.

Hope this is somehow helpful. Kindly let me know the info I need, and will see if it will be enough to understand more from it. But my guess would be that it will need someone to see it and run the labs.

Take care,
Dr. Papaqako
