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.

Thank you so much for your quick reply :) I feel like a lot of things can easily be explained as long as the person asking the question uses great detail.

Once again, thank you for the ease of mind :)

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.

Wow. Haha, didn't even notice. Whoops. Thank you :)
