Hi, I'm 16 years old and I've had this bump/lump on my penis shaft for a couple months now. I haven't had sex yet and I only masturbate. It doesn't hurt when I touch it or put pressure on it, it's just very noticeable. I'm really scared as to why it hasn't disappeared by now. I remember when it first appeared it gave a burning sensation, other than that it didn't hurt ever.Please help! 

Hi Guest,

It may be a sebaceous cyst.  They are very common on the genitals.  Basically it is like a pimple or zit.

They can take time to heal.  Treat is as you would a zit.  Don't squeeze or poke at it.  Try to keep it as clean and dry as you can.

It is unlikely to be anything serious.

If it continues ask your doctor.
