What Could The Penis Lump Be?
Hi, i have a small bump on my penis. Looks shiny on the top of it. and im curious as to what it is. I shaved my penis about 5 days ago. ive only had sexual intercourse with 1 person and ive been with her for 5 months. No other troubles in any way shape or form. Thinking it might be a infected ingrown hair or something like that but id like an experts opinion

Hello,
It could be folliculitis. It is nothing but a pus collection underneath the hair follicle. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
You can apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin for faster recovery. If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
