Help, I'm 15 and a little worried, for a while I've seen this small lump form on my penis and over time has been getting bigger and bigger. I don't know what to do

Go to the Doctor. Any bump on the skin that get larger should be checked out.

Go to a doctor and have them check it out- this could go bad really easily.

I know that it is quite embarrassing to show your stuff to a doctor, but you need to. Talk to your parents, Dad if possible, and let them know what is going on soon! These topics aren't easy to talk about, but it is important to keep yourself health!

I think around 15 yrs old is when boys should be checked by a doctor for testicular cancer, so while your there, get that checked out too.

Doctors are very professional about these personal matters and can ask your parents to leave the room for the exam. Don't be scared about the exam.

Hey Matt,

Speaking from experience, there is no need to panic. You should visit your doctor sooner than later, but bumps can form for a myriad of reasons, the majority of which are easily treatable and not too serious. This could be nothing more than an infected follicle, but your doctor needs to make that determination.

And believe me, the sooner you deal with this, the sooner you'll alleviate your stress and anxiety. Once the Doc checks you out and tells you that everything is fine, you'll be glad that you didn't procrastinate any longer than you already have.

As whiteladybug2002 said, talk to your mom or dad, depending on who your most comfortable with, and make an appointment to see your doctor.
