Brief Answer:
It is likely to be Sebaceous Cyst.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have what is called as Sebaceous Cyst over shaft of the penis.

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Since how long you have noticed this lump?
2) can you see tiny opening in the center of lump?

It is likely to be Sebaceous Cyst .However this can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified General Surgeon.

The penile skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin

Please consult qualified General Surgeon to confirm the diagnosis and for further treatment .

If needed it may have to be excised in Toto under local anesthesia.This is a simple surgery done under local anaesthesia as a out patient procedure and offers permanent cure.

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.
