What Causes Small Bump On Shaft Of Penis While Masturbating?
Question: Hello,
Just about few days ago.. I felt a little bump on the left side of the penis while I was masturbating just below the shaft in the midway of my penis. Hence, I retracted my foreskin back to check what it is exactly, but it was unreachable as it was more below down the foreskin... But, I don't feel any pain over there, it feels like a tissue (cylindrical in size or half-moon sized) and becomes more prominent during an erection. I don't any problem during ejaculation or urination..
I searched about this on google and came to know that it maybe a sign of penile cancer. So, I feel very much scared and worried...
Please note that the tissue doesn't feel like a lump exactly and also I do not notice any change in color of my penis. And also I masturbate 2-3 times in a week.
Please tell me, is it normal?
I haven't disclosed this with my parents. I don't know what to do.. Is it normal?
Please guide me.

Occasional asymptomatic soft lump can be due to localised tissue growth.

There is nothing to worry about this.
It is not cancer as cancerous tissue grows very fast and is often symptomatic.
Just relax you are safe.
