Hello, I have recently noticed a lump on the side of my penis, and I have started to worry about it. I do not know what it could be, and frankly I am kind of worried. Can anyone tell me what this could be?

If it doesn't hurt, isn't red then its probably from masturbating. If you are worried, have it checked out by your doctor.

It Could Be

Lymphangitis::

lymphangitis is a bacterial infection in the lymphatic vessels which is characterized by painful, red streaks below the skin surface. This is a potentially serious infection which can rapidly spread to the bloodstream and be fatal.

Varicocele::

I Would Deffinently research it. WebMD - Better information. Better health. (http://www.webmd.com) usually has very accurate information. Also, i recomend telling a parent. or seeing a doctor.

Hope You The Best.

No, its on the shaft of my penis. Its towards the lower left side. And its not attached to my penis. Like if I pull my skin it will be pulled with the skin.

Its like I said, its from masturbation. You can research your own question for answers similar to your problem by doing a search at the top of the page. Or you can go to google.com and research there. You could find out some important facts which will make you better informed. Or, as I also suggested, visit your doctor if you are comfortable with that.

The site mentioned above WebMD is a very good source of information but other suggestions in previous post by depressedhelp are not very accurate because it is not what you describe.

Are you positive that its from masturbation because if it is then I won't do it anymore, just please let me know.

Oh. Srry About The Inacurrate Information.
You Weren;t to clear on details.
So I wasn't 2 sure.
Like I said
WebMD - Better information. Better health. (http://www.webmd.com)
Very acurate.
But I agree with tickle.
With the information
It is highly likely from
Masturbation.
I would lay off it for a while.
If its STILL there.
go see a doctor.

There is nothing wrong with masturbation. You probably have a lump from being too over zealous. Just don't work so hard at it.

Ok, Ive tried going to WEBMD, but I can't find out where to go to find the answer to my question, can anyone give me specific directions on where to go to find my answer??
