What Does A Cyst Under Penis Indicate?

I have a cyst under my penis. It showed up when I was 14. Long before sexual activity. I m 35 now, it was always small, and never hurt or annoyed me, just this last week it became larger, swollen and red. It kinda hurts. Been applying warm water frequently, it seems to help. But looks like it wants to pop. I don t have health insurance. So is it an expensive procedure to have removed? Or is there something I should do?

Hi. It seems to be a sebaceous cyst. That is the commonest swelling in that area. You should see your GP or a Surgeon and get it removed if it is causing problems. If not then you can leave it alone. Its a minor surgery and can be done on OPD basis. No hospital admissions required. Do let us know if we can help you with any other query. You can contact me directly by leaving a Specialist question.
Take care.
