    Small tictac-like bump under penis
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Ok, I'm 28years old and I'm circumcised. I've got a small 'tic-tac' (if you know what those mints are) shaped lump under the skin underneath the penis head. Its been there for a while to be honest, I wasn't sure if it had got any bigger but my girlfriend said it felt like it, but if so not very much. Its right under the head kind of half way where the frenulum would be (but I don't have that anymore due to circumcision when very little). It's a hard lump that isn't really painful to touch or anything and kind of moves around undr the skin barely. It feels attached to the actual head (or stuff inside the penis head). It becomes more noticble when erect.

    I'm thinking it may be a cyst? But the fact there's no painand it seems attached makes me think Cancer?. which I hope it isn't. I'm going to go to the doctor but wanted some opinions also.

    Also if it is a cyst or that type of thing, is it possible to get it cut out?.

    It may be a cyst, it may be an STD, the only person who can really diagnose it definitively is a doctor, so go and see one, and don't have unprotected sex until then, as if it is an std you can pass it on, and if you already have, find out what it is, and if it's something contagious have her go be checked out too.

    It may be a cyst or an STD, it could even be nothing more than scar tissue from the circumcision, but to get a definitive diagnosis you will have to see your doctor. I doubt, though, that it is penile cancer. That is really rare.
