    Tiny puss filled ball (bump) on shaft of penis
    well occasionally I will notice a very tiny bump on the shaft of my penis (mostly around the middle of the shaft.)

    the bump is skin colored and does not hurt unless I squeeze it hard.

    if I pinch the skin around the bump I can feel it like a tiny ball under the surface of the skin.

    when I squeeze it, some puss will come out and then normally the bump will get smaller and eventually go away.

    like I said, I will randomly get 1 bump here or there every once in a while, and these bumps are really small and never itch or hurt.

    is this something I should be worried about?


    I ride my bike a lot as it is my only means of transportation at this time and I wear boxer briefs and sweat quite a lot down there during those bike rides.

    could this just be an ingrown hair? (I do shave regularly)

    thank you for any help on this matter.

    Perfectly normal. It's called a sebaceous cyst.

    I'm glad J_9 saw your question and answered quickly. Btw, a puss is a cat or kitten, so be careful when you write that word. The one you want in this situation is "pus." This will be good to know for the future.
