    Lump on penis.
    Ello. Im a 15 year old boy. And admit I do masturbate a lot and have noticed a lump form on the back of my penis towards the left side it doesn't hurt and a few days ago I could squeeze it and have a yellow puss come out like you get out of a spot but now nothing comes out of it.
    Do you no what it could be and what I should do?

    Most likely this is a sebaceous cyst, but to be sure of exactly what it is you need to have it examined by a doctor. Tell your dad about it and have him make you an appointment with a male doctor.

    Without being able to examine it, it is hard to say. Chances are that it is not, but you can never take health advice over the internet, better a doctor check it out.

    Thanks again.
    I don't really want to tell my parents to be honest :(.
    What's the worst that can happen if it is one of what you said?
    Do they just go on there own?

    If it is that cyst nothing will happen, but it might be something more serious.

    I understand at your age that you may be embarrassed, but remember, your dad has a penis too. He will also be proud that you are mature enough to take your health into consideration.

    I will let him no then.
    How long will this take to go, I have heard after a week they start to go?

    Again, without being able to examine it I can't tell you exactly what it is or how long it will take to go away. It could be an infection, but I can't tell for sure without examining it.

    Don't go on what you have heard, go on what your doctor tells you after he has examined it. If it is something serious, then the sooner you get to a doctor, the more likely it can be treated effectively.

    Thanks.
    How will the doctor treat these things?
    I will give it a week then if there's no improvement I will get it looked up at doctors.

    It all depends on what it is. It may need nothing, or it may need antibiotics. It all depends on what the diagnosis from the doctor is.

    Please don't wait. You'll wait a week and then you'll say "aw well, i'll give it another week and see if it goes away".
    I KNOW you will because I have BEEN THERE. Please see your doctor at the next opportunity.

    ste ste
    Thanks.
    How will the doctor treat this?
    I will give it a week or so to see what happens then I will go doctor if no improvements.
