Question: Welcome to 'Ask a Doctor'.hello
Hopefully you can help me. 7 or 8 mths ago I started to have pain on the inside tip of my urethra. The pain was only durning erections. Though over a few mths this somewhat has subsided. I have developed larger then pea like marblish hard growths inside the shaft of my penis. I have one on the left hand side centre of my shaft close to my urethra and a second in the same area a little higher on the right hand side of the shaft. The is also some what of mass though the centre of my shaft as well. These masses have also impacted the shape of my erections a slight depression on the top right hand side as well as them not being as full as they have been prior to this issue. Any insight and help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely XXXXXXX Rankin

Brief Answer:
Could be multiple Sebaceous Cysts.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted multiple masses on shaft of the penis that you have could be Sebaceous Cysts however diagnosis can be confirmed only on clinical examination in person by a qualified General surgeon or Urologist .
I shall be happy if you can post me more details to help me in making precise comments
1) Can you see opening at the top of masses?
2) Upload photograph of your penis
3) Is there any discharge from the mass on pressing ?
The Penile skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst 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.
Consult qualified General Surgeon or Urologist for clinical assessment and further treatment .
In the mean while start taking antibiotic like Doxicycline and anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily .
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.

("Based on the facts that you have posted multiple masses on shaft")
I do not have multiple masses "ON" MY shaft.
I have multiple masses "IN" MY shaft.
I have developed two larger than pea size marble hard growths INSIDE the shaft of my penis. I have one on the left hand side, INSIDE the centre of my shaft close to my urethra and a second in the same area a little higher on the right side INSIDE of the shaft. The is also somewhat of a mass though the INSIDE the centre of my shaft as well.
This was the start of the issues. 7 or 8 months ago I started to have pain on the inside tip of my urethra. The pain was only during erections. Though over a few months this somewhat has subsided.
How do I upload pictures?

Brief Answer:
Could be Calcified Plaque,
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up .I have mentioned masses to be on shaft of penis by that I mean they are beneath the skin .
If the masses are very hard they could be a calcified plaque in the Tinica Albugenia a sheath (which envelopes corporeal bodies) which could be confirmed only on clinical examination and by doing Ultrasound Scanning of Penis .Normally calcified plaques get resolved gradually over a period of two years .
Please go ahead and consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get Ultrasound Scanning done to establish diagnosis .
Further treatment will depend upon the final diagnosis .
Thanks and Regards.
