Lump / Bump on Penis Shaft (Picture attached)

[mod_079]

Hi, i have been sexually active recently. i noticed this small whitish hard bump in my penis shaft. tried to research online and it could be Fordyce or Lymphocele. i am a lil worried. i tried to pop it, out of curiosity as I feel insecure. but it didnt work, it only left a scar and turned reddish and the bump is still there. this makes me stressful and ashamed. the bump is still there and its kinda reddish because of the torn skin. After almost a week theres no redness, but the bump is still present and i feel that it increased in size (or am I just being paranoid)

I visited a Family medicine here but i was only prescribed by cephalexin antibiotic for 10days.

i am new in the USA and I dont know what to do, I want this removed. thanks

It looks like an cyst. The body protects itself by creating a protective coating to surround the infection. I had one towards the base of my shaft and had it removed by my GP under local anaesthetic.

The antibiotic you have been prescribed did not help my cyst.

I am just really paranoid. Every morning i notice that the bump is hard. I hope that the urologist will consider removing this through surgery. I am afraid of what will happen.... my appointment is like 3wks from now and I cannot wait for it. It only makes me self- conscious and paranoid.

Hi did you ever find out what it was ? I have something similar and am afraid also.

Hello, i had it removed. I underwent a minor surgery. It was a sebaceous cyst.
