What Is The Remedy For The Small Lump On The Penis?
Hi Doctor, I have been concerned with a v small lump on my penis for at least 12 months now, I have been to my GUM clinic twice in this time. Both times they have said it is not a wart and that it is some kind of irritated gland or follicle. Is there a chance they have got this wrong or is it paranoia on my part?
Many Thanks

Hi. If the swelling is at the base of the penis it is most likely a sort f the follicle they have mentioned. Is it causing any problem ?
IF it is at the shaft it still can be a blocked sweat gland.
Leave it alone if there are no symptoms; it is there for 12 months you say...
If you still have doubts show this to a surgeon for a proper diagnosis and you can get it out by a small surgery.
