What Causes A Nodule On The Penile Shaft?

a bit more information needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concern. A tiny bump or nodule in that area can be many things, so a bit more information is needed to narrow down a possible cause.
Please let me know:
What color is it? Red, pink, white, flesh colored?
Is it hard to the touch?
Is it painful or painless?
What size is it?
Is it solitary or are there more accompanying ones around it (you've mentioned a tiny nodule, do you mean a group of tiny nodules or just a single one)?
Are you sexually active?
Do you have pain or burning upon urination?
Please provide this information so that I can be able to give you an opinion. However, even though there is a long list of causes for penile nodules, there are generally three possibilities, a cystic formation (harmless), a sexually transmitted disease (treatable) or an abnormal cell growth (tricky and needs immediate attention).
I hope this helps. I will be waiting for your answer to fill me in with further necessary details.
Wishing you good health and best wishes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
thank you for the additional information. It sounds a lot like a viral wart or molluscum contagious (another type of wart).
Another possibility that fits the description is a cyst, which are usually harmless.
In any case, I highly recommend you see a doctor and have it checked, because a picture or view is worth a thousand words. Unfortunately, these type of bumps, although very rarely, turn out to be something more serious and need proper attention the earliest possible.
I hope this helps.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
