What Is The Small Bump On The Right Side Of My Penis?
I have a small bump on the right side of my penis right where the head meets the shaft. I m assuming this is the glans? It is the same as my skin color. It s not a pearly penile pimple (PPP). It is not painful unless i put pressure on it. I have been in a monogomous relationship for the past 10 months with my boyfriend who claims that he s been tested and he has nothing. I haven t had sexual relations with anyone for 2 years before him and I, myself have been tested and have nothing. I had it about a month ago and then it went away, but now it s back. It seems to show up after my boyfriend and I engage in any sexual acts. What could this be?

Hello,
It can be an ingrown hair, blocked sebaceous glands, lymphoceles, Fordyce spots, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. Lymphoceles happen when lumps or swelling appear on your penis after you have sex or masturbate. They result from blockage in your lymph channels. Get clinically examined by a urologist. Get required tests done (both the partners). In the meantime, take care of your hygiene and avoid any sexual activity till all the teats are done. Wear soft loose fitting cotton clothes so that it does not rub against the bump.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
