I am 18 and a virgin, so I'm pretty sure that I don't have a std. But there is a bump on my shaft twards the bottom where the penis starts. It isjust kinda a swollen lump, no white spot or anything. I don't know if this helps but it appeared after I shaved my panis hair. Any help would be appreciated as I am very nervous about going to the doctor about it.

No, I don't know what this is. Without an exam it is impossible to tell what it is.

I am just saying that this is something that should be checked out.
It could be a tumor, or not,
it could be genital warts, or not
it could be an ingrown hair, or not

I just should be checked out so that you know what it is and what it is not.

I couldn't talk to my mom face to face about it so I wrote her an email telling her about it and asking her to take me to the doctors. Thanks to everyone who replied it really help give me the courage to get this far. And J_9, how could it be genital warts if I am a virgin?

I also have a question, and im also 17. On my forskin, I have a perfectly smooth and round ball/lump, it's more firm then squishy and has been there since I could remember. I have no idea what it is and havn't been sick or anything, and im really really shy and can't talk to anyone about it. Anyone have any idea what it is? (Im a virgin, so it isn't a STD)

Godson,

I NEVER said you had genital warts. I just said that this is something that should be checked out to make sure all is healthy down there. I just gave a few possibilities as to what it could be.

Remember I sad it could be..... or could not be, and gave you some examples.

Goshdang, I realise you may be shy, but 50% of all doctors (or more) have penises too. Urologists see penises all day long. You too need to get your problem checked out. You gotta make sure it is nothing serious such as penile cancer (which I am pretty sure it is not) but to be sure you need to see a doctor.

Well I went to the doctor today, It was just a cyst, thank God, I already have scheduled an appointment to get it removed like my doctor suggested. And to anyone that has a bump or anything. just get it checked out at the doctors, Like most people told me the doctor has a penis to it was really easy and stress free. And believe me, after you find out what it is you will feel alot better. I was almost doing flips and jumping around I was so happy.

Great news. See I told you that it would not be so bad. It is always best though to have things like this checked out. You would hate to ignore it, from advice that may be given, only to find out later that it is something serious.

Good for you!!!

I have the same thing right now. Its a small bump at the base of my penis that is generally painless unless I mess with it. Its been there for a few months now, It is very hard and feels kind of like an in grown pimple. I tried to pop it and it became painful and very swollen. I was nervous that it was an std, but when you said you had something similar and that you were a virgin it kind of comforted me. It almost feels like a small cyst.

Keep me posted on your situation
