Brief Answer:
it seems normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for information. Sorry for delayed response.

In photos I cannot find anything abnormal. It is likely vein of penis. During erection due to blood congestion it looks like lump. When penis is in flaccid state, blood reduces and lump goes away.

Masturbation does not cause any harm to penis in general except it is done vigorously in prone position.

For more clarification I request to send pic with erect penis and mark the lump if you can do it with photoshop.

Also let me know how do you masturbate? With hand or in prone position.

Brief Answer:
normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for clarification.

Thanks for clear photograph. From visual examination it seems completely normal. It is on skin of penis and even not differently visible from surrounding skin. It is related to skin only , nothing else.

From history and photos I can conclude that nothing to worry. If pain, increase in size or any discharge is there , you should consult doctor for examination.

You are doing masturbation with hand that is absolutely fine.

For your information:
Masturbation is natural and normal thing. It is done by 95% of the males in the world, mostly before marriage as well as when wife is away, in menses or pregnant after marriage. It is not at all harmful. Frequency of masturbation done by an individual varies from once a day to once a week. It depends upon individual libido, wish and timing. It neither causes any weakness nor any problem in sexual activity.

All the best and take care.
