What Causes Small Lump On The Shaft Of Penis With Mild Pain?

Hi, I have recently noticed a small lump on the left side of the shaft of the penis. There s a slight pain whenever I touch it, and it looks like it s a part of the veins in my penis. I ve never had sex, but I do regularly masturbate. Is it something I should be concerned about? Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Small lump what you are complaining of over the shaft of the penis could be due to presence of a boil.
Kindly wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily and maintain good personal hygiene. After drying, apply Neomycin skin cream on the lesions. Kindly take analgesic medication like Ibuprofen twice daily after food. Also take a course of antibiotics like Amoxacillin with Clavalunate, if necessary.
Kindly abstain from sexual activity till the lesion heals completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
