I've Noticed That I Have An Inflamed Node On The
Question: I've noticed that I have an inflamed node on the top side of my shaft after sleeping (it is the protrusion most closest to the tip of my middle finger in picture). It is most noticeable when I have an erection after waking, and it covers a small circle about the size of a pea. Also, it is painful to go over when masturbating. It is in on the part of my shaft right before it meets my pubic area. Lastly, it goes away after standing and walking around for about 15 minutes. By the way, I am a stomach sleeper. I feel like sleeping on my stomach is what causes it.

I believe this small lump is connected to a blood vessel. and it goes away after walking/standing/sitting for about 20 minutes. It seems to only appear after sleeping on my stomach. It almost seems like a deep vein coming to the surface when it should stay lowered in the center of my shaft. Please assist.
