Brief Answer:
It is a sebaceous Cyst

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts and photograph that you have posted it appears that you have a Sebaceous Cyst over shaft of the penis .

The penule skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cysts due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin. Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

Take antibiotic like Doxicycline and anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily for a week .

If it does not subside consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment. If required it may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.
