It is very hard...a little bit XXXXXXX but seems to be stucks to lining inside penis.... very annoying...
it does seem bigger and harder and deeper than a sebaceous cyst..if diagnosis of calcification is made, what treatment is available for this kind of problem ?
If i really try hard, i can squeeze it between 2 fingers...
lump is bigger and harder if penis is more erected...

Brief Answer:
It is a calcified Plaque.

Hello
Thanks for follow up.
The hard lump in shaft of the penis is usually calcified plaque and needs to be confirmed by Ultrasound Scanning of Penis .
Normally it gets resolved spontaneously over a period of 1-2 years and no treatment is required
Surgery is advised if there is curvature of penis on erection and makes penetration of vagina difficult and painful.
Thanks an Regards.
