Zit like lump

[banegg]

Hi male 19 here, I recently developed a zit like spot on the shaft of my penis.....should I be worried?

very common. It should resolve, but sometimes it may be a cyst. Nothing to worry about unless it is hard and not settling over a month or so

What if it is slightly hard?

The NHS has difficulty coping with the demands on it and this sounds really minor and at your age is extremely unlikely to be of concern. Please wait and see and if it is resolving there is no need to see any doctor at all.

I say this as a recently retired GP
