Brief Answer:
Mostly it is Sebaceous Cyst .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have hard bump on shaft of your penis since 2 months .

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Is the bump freely XXXXXXX beneath the skin (Sebaceous Cyst) or is it fixed to penile shaft of the penis (Calcified Plaque).

This could be mostly a Sebaceous cyst or a Calcified Plaque .However this can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified general Surgeon or Urologist.

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 they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

If proved to be calcified plaque you can leave it alone .Normally it gets resolved itself within 2 years without any treatment.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,
I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
