Hello i am 15 years old and am in the mid stages of puberty. a few months ago i noticed a small painless lump on my penis i have loads of tiny little visible ones but only this one i can feel, i think it may be their because i irratated it while masturbating. It is located towards the top on the underside but a little to the right. I know it isnt part of the penis anatomy because it wasnt there before and isnt connected to the penis. i can lift up the skin a little and it seems to be connected to the skin of my penis. If i press on it or pinch it, it slightly hurts. Im not sure what this is and i am pretty worried it could be something bad. I am a virgin so it cant be a STD, so im not sure whats going on. Please help me out, any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. and i was also wondering how should i treat it, washing etc, and i really dont wana go to a doctors, and if i stop masturbating will it go. thanks.

You really need to go to the doctor to have this checked out. I know you don't want to, and I do understand why. You could go to a male doctor because he has a penis too, and it would not be quite as embarrassing as a woman doctor.

This could be a simple cyst or possibly something more serious, but we cannot diagnose something like this without a physical examination.

You may need medication to make this go away, so please have your Mom or Dad make a doctor's appointment for you.

i aint bothered about being embaressed its the fact that i dont know where to go and i dont want my family to know, i was just wondering is it unusual to be their so long , and would antiseptic cream help, or putting a hot wet towel on it? i tried popping it witha needle and a bit of blood came out and thats it, its not like a normal spot, its smaller and rock hard, i cant pop it as it hurts when i squeeze hard. thanks.
