Could be a Calcified Plaque
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have noticed a painful lump in shaft of your penis since one year .
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Is the lump (Mole ) hard on palpation ?
2) Is it free from skin ?
3) Is it fixed to deeper fascia?
4) Does it cause pain on erection or while attempting penetrative sex ?
The photograph that you have uploaded is shoot up from very close angle hence can not be visualized properly If possible take a fresh photograph from adequate distance focusing on the lesion and post it again.
From the description that you have narrated It could be what is called as calcified Plaque or a subcutaneous soft tissue mass and can be confirmed only on clinical examination .
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get Ultrasound scanning of Penis done to confirm the diagnosis.
Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
