Hi, I have a lump about the size of pea right beside the base of my penis, it is completly under the skin and has shown no signs of coming through the the skin like a pimple would. I am a 19 year old male, 5 foot 10 and 170 pounds, with an athletic build. I hope that is enough information, if I m missing anything, please let me know.
Hello and become to Chat Doctor. I have read your question and can understand your concerns. For how long this lump is there.? Is it decreasing or increasing in size.? Does it increase in size while coughing.? Do you have fever.? Do you diabetes.? If I were your treating physician I would have ruled out sebaceous cyst by skin pinch and fluctuation test. This cyst arises due to blockage of sebaceous glands duct which secretes sebum. Sebum lubricates the hair. It is common in this area.it is treated by excision surgically. Other possibilities areMycetoma which is fungal infection caused by actinomyces.it is treated by antifungals such as ketoconazole or fluconazole. Inguinal hernia can also cause lump in this area which is diagnosed clinically by cough impulse, and ring occlusion test. Thanks. Hope the answer is helpfulness asking us at Chat Doctor. Regards
