What Might Be The Bump On The Side Of Shaft That Is Flesh Colored And Under It ?

I have a bb sized bump on the side of my shaft. it's not above the skin, it's under it but not attached to the shaft, and i can move it around with the skin. it's fleshed colored and it seems to have a small black head on it. i'm just curious as to what it maybe. i've gotten tested and i have no STDS and i live a pretty healthy lifestyle.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A flesh colored bump on the shaft with black colored surface could be due to primary skin lesion.
This type of lesion can be associated with sexually transmitted diseases.
Flesh colored bumps are seen in infection with human papilloma virus (HPV).
HPV infection is detected by serological tests.
The other possibility is of primary skin lesion.
You need to consult a dermatologist for clinical examination of the lesion.
A biopsy may be required and that is curative in some skin lesions.

Thanks and take care
