    Lump on Penis
    I am 15 years old and I have recently found a pee sized lump on my penis. Its near the bottom of the penis on the left side. I've never had sex or anything that could give me an STD. I'm scared about this and I'm very shy to tell someone about this. I haven't had it for a long time but its still there and its pretty big. Its on the shaft of the penis and I'm not sure if its an ingrown hair or what it is exactly.. I tried popping it once but all that came out was blood and if I squeeze it it hurts.. Help me pleaseeee:(

    Don't poke at it or try to pop it. If it's as big as a pea, it may be a little cyst, which isn't terrible, but you need to have it removed, however, a doctor would have to diagnose this, so go and see one, they'll definitely be able to help you out. Don't be embarrassed, talk to your dad or your mom, and explain to them you think you may have a cyst, and it's not an STD as you are not sexually active, so don't be embarrassed about that. It's your health, a cyst can grow and become very painful, so please don't hesitate to talk to a parent and see a doctr.

    Should I wait like a week or so before I go and just see how its doing? Or should I go right now.. Cause I'm really shy to tell my parents about this.

    Sweetie, tell your dad. He has a penis too, so it won't be quite as embarrassing.

    It is still very embarrassing to bring up.. Once again, should I wait a week or so and see how it is? If its worse or the same I'll tell but if its clearing up should I just leave it and it will go away on its own?

    Why would you want to wait a week or so? What if it's something serious? Wouldn't you want to have it taken care of immediately? If you wait a week or two, you will be worrying for another week or two. Go to the doctor (a man preferably) and have it checked out so that you don't have to continue worrying.

    Could it be cancer? :(

    Since we aren't doctors and don't know you and your lump, no one here can diagnose this. It is very unlikely it is cancer at your young age. Just get this over with and go to the doctor. Let us know what he said.

    Go see a doctor, that person is not thinking clearly, the best decision would be to see a doctor, they can tell you if it's serious or not, and that person cannot diagnose you from a 2 second blurb on the internet, they're giving you bad advice. Go to a doctor.
