 Imasturbate often and have noticed a growing red lump on the shaft of my penis. It hurts to touch it. I am not sure what it is but some research I did brought me to believe it is a lymphocele. I am not sure though. 

Any help on treatment or what it is would be appreciated

Hey man so it's possible it's a lymphatocele but looks more like a pimple or ingrown hair...: are you sexually active or r have you ever been in the past?  How long have you had the lump and has it gotten bigger or smaller at all?  thanks

I am not sure what exactly sexually active means, I’ve never had sex but I masturbate daily. It’s gotten bigger over the course of a few days and I’ve had it for almost a month now

Ok so sexually active means do you have sex of any type, anal, vaginal or oral. It’s possible the bump is an ingrown hair or a lymphocele. how often do you masturbate? Do you use any lube? And are you rough when you do it like squeeze hard or masturbate fast?
Thanks

I masturbate every day. I do not use lube. I am rough and do it fast sometimes.

Hey there so it’s possibly this is from masturbating too rough especially without lube. I would try to not masturbate for a few days and see if the bump goes down. Also are you circumcised?

Yes I’m circumcised

Ok so that’s even more reason to either use lube or be a little more gentle when you masturbate because the friction can cause irritation to your penis.

Does that make sense?

Yes, thank you. I will follow up at the end of this week with results.
