What Does A Persistent Bump On The Penile Shaft Indicate?

I have a little bump on the shaft of my penis. it has not grown in size and I ve had it for about 2 years now. it looks like a cross of a skin tag and a wart, almost a perfect circle like a mushroom head. Any ideas of what this may be? Same color as my skin as well

Hello,

Since you didn't mention any history regarding sex. If you had unprotected sex, need to think of STI.

If not, it can be Acne, Fordyce spots - which develop when skin's pores are clogged with natural oil, called sebum, sweat, dead skin, it can also cause infection:

Skin tag – it's normal, happens in age advances. Lichen planus - Ingrown hair which is painful can leads to infection, needs medical management

Rough Masturbation/Sex Bullous Impetigo- bacterial infection due to bad hygiene or use of public pools, towels.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr S.R.Raveendran, Sexologist
