What Causes Oil Sac On The Penis Shaft?

dear doc,

i have an oil sac on my penis shaft, very much like a blister formed from being scalded by boiling water. for some time now. What is the cause? i am not experiencing any any problem with it. i had it before and simply puncture it with a sterile needle and was well for a number of years.Now it has appeared again.

Hello
Thanks for query.

Based on what you have described I would say that you have Sebaceous Cyst over shaft of the penis.

The penile 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.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.
If needed he may advise you to get it excised in Toto (Completely along with
the sac)
