Suggest Treatment For Pea Sized Lump On Foreskin
I have noticed a small red pea sized lump on my foreskin that is painless. I have read about this just being friction from masturbation but I would like to hear an opinion, I have never had sex or engaged in any sexual activity other than masturbation.

Hello
Thanks for query.
Pea sized lump on foreskin is likely to be either a boil or a sebaceous cyst and can be confirmed only by clinical examination by a qualified General Surgeon or Urologist .
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.
Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
If problem persists even after taking antibiotics you will need to get it excised /drained
