What Causes Lumps On The Penis Of A Toddler?
I have a 2 year old son with lumps on his penis. I am waiting for an appointment with the paediatric urologist but thought I would check it out on the internet first and saw this site. The first lump I noticed at christmas, it was about the size of a grain of rice, it is attached and does not move freely with the skin. I can t work out if it is below the level of his gland, or right at the base of it and I don t like to spend lots of time looking at it for obvious reasons! It is on the side of his penis and today I noticed 2 further lumps. Any advice would be greatly received.

Hi... I understand your concern. By what you say I feel that your son is having smegmoma. It is a very common condition due to accumulation of smegma and easily treatable by application of steroid cream. Regular cleaning of the prepuce area by pulling the prepuce back during bath will not let this recur.
