What Does A Pea Sized Lump On Base Of Penis Indicate?

Hello. I'm 31 years old, just under 6ft 185 lbs and in good health. About a year ago I noticed a small soft, pink growth on the second knuckle of the forefinger of my right hand. It didn't take long for it to become larger, (about the size of a pea) and begin to turn hard and almost calloused. I bought a few kinds of over the counter wart remover and within a couple weeks it was gone and back to soft painless tissue. A few months later, the very same thing showed up about an inch up from the base of my penis on the under side and about half an inch to the right. I have no insurrance and so haven't had it checked out. It it is now conciderably larger (about the size of a pea) and hard as well on the surface. And just today I have found a pea sized lump, soft tissue, yet fairly firm, just under the surface of the skin at the base of my penis, nearly an inch below what I belive may be a wart. There are no hairs growing out of any follicles there nor is it the occasional zit or what have you that I have on occasion found near the same area. I'm curious to know if there may be a connection between any one of the three. Any insight would be welcome and much appriciated. Thank you. Ken

Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the facts that you have posted I would say that you have multiple sebaceous Cysts over 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

Consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment. If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)

The swelling on the Rt hand finger is most likely to be a Ganglion and needs to be confirmed and removed .
